The current behavior is not as obvious as one would assume (which is
that, if the driver set vlan_filtering_is_global = 1, then checking any
dp->vlan_filtering would yield the same result). Only the ports which
are actively enslaved into a bridge would have vlan_filtering set.

This makes it tricky for drivers to check what the global state is.
Moreover, the most obvious place to check for this setting, the CPU
port, is not populated since it's not being enslaved to the bridge.
So fix this and make the CPU port hold the global state of VLAN
filtering on this switch.

Hi Vladimir

As compilers get more picky, i expect that is going to result in a
warning. 

Since this is a switch global attribute, putting it in dsa_switch
would be better, next to vlan_filteris_is_global.

Hi Andrew,

Creating a bool ds->vlan_filtering wouldn't make a lot of sense for
the majority of drivers.
Additionally in my sja1105_filter() function, that would require me to
pass through one more pointer (dev->dsa_ptr->vlan_filtering vs
dev->dsa_ptr->*ds->*vlan_filtering) to reach the same information.
I don't think that keeping it in cpu_dp->vlan_filtering has any
semantical overlap with anything else that might appear in the future.
And I don't know why the cpu_dp pointer is const. In the
dsa_switch_tree it isn't.

Thanks,
-Vladimir
