Don't leave the commit message empty. Explain the change and include an
example output showing the "locked" flag.

Still missing a description of the "locked" flag from the man page.

"
locked - this entry was added by the kernel in response to a host trying
to communicate behind a bridge port with MAB enabled. User space can
authenticate the host by clearing the flag. The flag cannot be set by
user space.
