[Patch net-next] bridge: fix seq check in br_mdb_dump()

From: Cong Wang <redacted>

In case of rehashing, introduce a global variable 'br_mdb_rehash_seq'
which gets increased every time when rehashing, and assign
net->dev_base_seq + br_mdb_rehash_seq to cb->seq.

In theory cb->seq could be wrapped to zero, but this is not
easy to fix, as net->dev_base_seq is not visible inside
br_mdb_rehash(). In practice, this is rare.

No synchronization at all is applied to this variable, I can't
see how this is OK.
