I was going to ask if we should bother to add code to prohibit packets

that FDB entry is more of a "ghost" and not something fully committed?
I think that it is a security flaw if there is any forwarding to 
BR_FDB_LOCKED
entries. I can imagine a host behind a locked port with no credentials,
that gets a BR_FDB_LOCKED entry and has a friend on another non-locked 
port
who can now communicate uni-directional to the host with the 
BR_FDB_LOCKED
entry. It should not be too hard to create a scheme using UDP packets or
other for that.
