From: Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.olt...@nxp.com>

The bridge does this:

fdb_modify:
        /* Assume permanent */
        if (!(req.ndm.ndm_state&(NUD_PERMANENT|NUD_REACHABLE)))
                req.ndm.ndm_state |= NUD_PERMANENT;

So let's make the user aware of the fact that if they don't want local
entries, they need to specify some other flag like "static".
