[PATCH RFC 2/3] net: bridge: set forwarding state on port removal

When a port leaves a bridge, the bridge layer puts its STP state to
Disabled. If the port is part of an hardware switch, the mode needs to
be set to Forwarding in order to restore communication with the CPU.

Call br_set_state() in del_nbp(), which only affects switchdev users.
