H A Dbr_switchdev.c85826610 Wed Jul 21 11:24:00 CDT 2021 Tobias Waldekranz <tobias@waldekranz.com> net: bridge: switchdev: recycle unused hwdoms

Since hwdoms have only been used thus far for equality comparisons, the
bridge has used the simplest possible assignment policy; using a
counter to keep track of the last value handed out.

With the upcoming transmit offloading, we need to perform set
operations efficiently based on hwdoms, e.g. we want to answer
questions like "has this skb been forwarded to any port within this
hwdom?"

Move to a bitmap-based allocation scheme that recycles hwdoms once all
members leaves the bridge. This means that we can use a single
unsigned long to keep track of the hwdoms that have received an skb.

v1->v2: convert the typedef DECLARE_BITMAP(br_hwdom_map_t, BR_HWDOM_MAX)
into a plain unsigned long.
v2->v6: none
