bridge: Only call /sbin/bridge-stp for the initial network namespace

[ Upstream commit ff621985 ]

[I stole this patch from Eric Biederman. He wrote:]

> There is no defined mechanism to pass network namespace information
> into /sbin/bridge-stp therefore don't even try to invoke it except
> for bridge devices in the initial network namespace.

> guard against unreasonable arguments or being invoked twice on the
> same network device could cause problems.
