medium-term goal is to allow "ip link show" dump commands to run without RTNL.

This round of patches adds/fixes some lockess accesses in bridge.

This is not complete, more patches will come later.

Ultimately all changes to p->flags should use set_bit()/clear_bit().
Thanks for the patches, Eric. I have two fixes [1][2] that I am planning
to submit next week where I mention some of these issues. There might be
a small conflict between both patchsets. I can review on Sunday unless
it's critical to merge the set before that.
