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().

v2: addressed Ido's feedback (patches 5 & 6).

Eric Dumazet (11):
  bridge: add a READ_ONCE() in br_timer_value()
  bridge: add bridge_flags_bit enum
  bridge: use BR_PROMISC_BIT
  bridge: use BR_ADMIN_COST_BIT
  bridge: provide lockless access to p->path_cost
  bridge: provide lockless access to p->designated_cost
  bridge: provide lockless access to p->designated_port
  bridge: provide lockless access to p->priority
  bridge: provide lockless access to p->port_id
  bridge: provide lockless access to p->config_pending
  bridge: read p->flags once in br_port_fill_attrs()
