net/mlx5: Bridge, fix peer entry ageing in LAG mode
With current implementation in single FDB LAG mode all packets are
processed by eswitch 0 rules. As such, 'peer' FDB entries receive the
packets for rules of other eswitches and are responsible for updating the
main entry by sending SWITCHDEV_FDB_ADD_TO_BRIDGE notification from their
background update wq task. However, this introduces a race condition when
non-zero eswitch instance decides to delete a FDB entry, sends
SWITCHDEV_FDB_DEL_TO_BRIDGE notification, but another eswitch's update task
refreshes the same entry concurrently while its async delete work is still
pending on the workque. In such case another SWITCHDEV_FDB_ADD_TO_BRIDGE
event may be generated and entry will remain stuck in FDB marked as
'offloaded' since no more SWITCHDEV_FDB_DEL_TO_BRIDGE notifications are
sent for deleting the peer entries.
Fix the issue by synchronously marking deleted entries with
MLX5_ESW_BRIDGE_FLAG_DELETED flag and skipping them in background update
job.
