bridge: netlink dump interface at par with brctl



Actually better than brctl showmacs because we can filter by bridge
port in the kernel.
The current bridge netlink interface doesnt scale when you have many
bridges each with large fdbs or even bridges with many bridge ports

And now for the science non-fiction novel you have all been
waiting for..

//lets see what bridge ports we have
root@moja-1:/configs/may30-iprt/bridge# ./bridge link show
8: eth1 state DOWN : <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 master br0 state
disabled priority 32 cost 19
17: sw1-p1 state DOWN : <BROADCAST,NOARP> mtu 1500 master br0 state
disabled priority 32 cost 100

// show all..
