Zhiling Zou 7a49e6b16f net: bridge: use option bits for CFM/MRP frame handlers
CFM and MRP register a global br_frame_type whose hlist_node is linked
into the per-bridge frame_type_list when the first MEP/MRP instance is
created. Enabling the protocol on multiple bridges therefore inserts the
same node into multiple lists. Unregistering it on one bridge then
corrupts list state belonging to another.

These handlers can only be installed once per bridge, and they are
uncommon. Track their per-bridge enable state with net_bridge option
bits, which already live on the Rx hot cache line, and dispatch the
matching handler directly from the receive path. Check both bits
together first as an unlikely case.

Remove the generic frame_type_list and br_frame_type helpers, which
have had no other users since CFM and MRP were added. That shrinks
struct net_bridge by 8 bytes and drops the list walk from the fast
path. When neither protocol is compiled in, BR_CFM_MRP_OPTS is 0 and
the compiler prunes the branch.

Fixes: 90c628dd47 ("net: bridge: extend the process of special frames")
Fixes: dc32cbb3db ("bridge: cfm: Kernel space implementation of CFM. CCM frame RX added.")
