    bridge: add missing bridge port check for offloads · 1fd0bddb

    This patch fixes a missing bridge port check caught by smatch.
    
    setlink/dellink of attributes like vlans can come for a bridge device
    and there is no need to offload those today. So, this patch adds a bridge
    port check. (In these cases however, the BRIDGE_SELF flags will always be set
    and we may not hit a problem with the current code).
    
    smatch complaint:
    
    The patch 68e331c7: "bridge: offload bridge port attributes to
    switch asic if feature flag set" from Jan 29, 2015, leads to the
    following Smatch complaint:
    
    net/bridge/br_netlink.c:552 br_setlink()
    	 error: we previously assumed 'p' could be null (see line 518)
    
    net/bridge/br_netlink.c
       517
       518		if (p && protinfo) {
                        ^
    Check for NULL.
