I think this patch is simpler/better, it restores the old logic.

Ps. submitting patches to bugzilla is a good way to have them ignored.

From Stephen Hemminger <stephen@networkplumber.org>

Check that incoming STP packet is received on a port assigned to bridge
before processing. It is possible to receive packet on non-bridge port
because they are multicast.

See:
 https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64911

We alreay did some cleanup jobs before mark this dev is not a port of bridge (dev->priv_flags &= ~IFF_BRIDGE_PORT),
such as remove the fdb related to this port(br_fdb_delete_by_port).

and seems like after these cleanup jobs, before unregister this device, if new skb is received,
br_handle_local_finish will call br_fdb_update to create a new fdb whose dst points to the will-be-destroied-port.

I don't know if this will cause some problems.
seems we should also make sure port is unavailable before we do cleanup.

Not really.  We disable the port first before removing the fdb
as a result, br_handle_local_finish() will not update the fdb because
the port is in disabled state.
