Add checking whether the call to ndo_dflt_fdb_dump is needed.
It is not expected to call ndo_dflt_fdb_dump unconditionally
by some drivers (i.e. qlcnic or macvlan) that defines
own ndo_fdb_dump. Other drivers define own ndo_fdb_dump
and don't want ndo_dflt_fdb_dump to be called at all.
At the same time it is desirable to call the default dump
function on a bridge device.

Following tests for filtering have been performed before
the change and after the patch was applied to make sure
they are the same and it doesn't break the filtering algorithm.

Also following test was performed to proove it fixes the problem
with macvlan driver where dflt_fdb_dump was called twice showing
duplicate self entries:
[root@localhost bridge]# modprobe dummy
[root@localhost bridge]# ip li add link dummy0 mac0 type macvlan
[root@localhost bridge]# ./bridge fdb show dev mac0
33:33:00:00:00:01 self permanent
[root@localhost bridge]#

Device specific things do not belong in generic code.

If the bridging device wants specific behavior wrt. this
callback, it can implement the callback as needed.

Will fix it and resend the patch as v4.
