When the switchdev_handle_fdb_event_to_device() event replication helper
was created, my original thought was that FDB events on LAG interfaces
should most likely be special-cased, not just replicated towards all
switchdev ports beneath that LAG. So this replication helper currently
does not recurse through switchdev lower interfaces of LAG bridge ports,
but rather calls the lag_mod_cb() if that was provided.

No switchdev driver uses this helper for FDB events on LAG interfaces
yet, so that was an assumption which was yet to be tested. It is
certainly usable for that purpose, as my RFC series shows:

however this approach is slightly convoluted because:

- the switchdev driver gets a "dev" that isn't its own net device, but
  rather the LAG net device. It must call switchdev_lower_dev_find(dev)
  in order to get a handle of any...
