Hit during development on a Xiaomi AX3600 (IPQ8074) running OpenWrt's
qca-ppe DSA switch driver. A station roaming between a DSA user port
and a Wi-Fi AP port of the same bridge logged
qca-ppe 3a000000.ppe: port 5 failed to delete 02:5a:0b:a2:1a:46 vid 0 from fdb: -2
3-6 times per address when the two ports received on different CPUs,
and not at all when they shared one CPU (4 runs each). The dsa_loop
harness described in the cover letter reproduces it on net-next.
