[ Upstream commit 22ec19f3aee327806c37c9fa1188741574bc6445 ]
Drivers that support bridge offload need to be notified about changes to the bridge's VLAN protocol so that they could react accordingly and potentially veto the change.
Add a new switchdev attribute to communicate the change to drivers.

This looks like a bit of an odd patch to backport? Are we also going to backport driver changes that make use of this new switchdev notifier?
