Before this patch the user-specified bridge port was ignored when
deleting an fdb entry and thus one could delete an entry that belonged
to any port.
Example (eth0 and eth1 are br0 ports):
bridge fdb add 00:11:22:33:44:55 dev eth0 master
bridge fdb del 00:11:22:33:44:55 dev eth1 master
(succeeds)

after the patch:
bridge fdb add 00:11:22:33:44:55 dev eth0 master
bridge fdb del 00:11:22:33:44:55 dev eth1 master

Based on a patch by Wilson Kok.

Note: Sending this for net-next since it changes user-visible behaviour and
      could potentially break someone's setup which relies on it.
      If this is not acceptable, we could add a new flag which specifies
      that it's an exact delete and thus leave the behaviour as it was
      before the patch.
