BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1581585

== SRU Justification ==
Due to this bug, userspace is not notified after bridge fdb update.
When updating a bridge FDB entry, no netlink message is sent.

This is fixed by upstream commit c65c7a306610.  This commit was included in v3.14-rc3,
so it is only needed in Trusty.  Commit c65c7a306610 also requires commit a5642ab47 
as a prereq. 

This request will also be sent to upstream 3.13.y-ckt.

== Fixes ==
Prereq:
commit a5642ab4744bc8c5a8c7ce7c6e30c01bd6bbc691
Author: Toshiaki Makita <makita.toshiaki at lab.ntt.co.jp>
