Subject[PATCH 3.2 105/149] resubmit bridge: fix message_age_timer calculation
3.2.52-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Chris Healy <cphealy@gmail.com>

[ Upstream commit 9a0620133ccce9dd35c00a96405c8d80938c2cc0 ]

This changes the message_age_timer calculation to use the BPDU's max age as
opposed to the local bridge's max age. This is in accordance with section
8.6.2.3.2 Step 2 of the 802.1D-1998 sprecification.

With the current implementation, when running with very large bridge
diameters, convergance will not always occur even if a root bridge is
configured to have a longer max age.

Tested successfully on bridge diameters of ~200.
