In my previous replies, I have notified that fdb_find_rcu() does not
find the entry added with br0, and thus fdb_add_entry() that does the
replace does not replace but adds a new entry. I have been thinking that
it is because when added with br0 as dev it is added to dev br0's fdb,
which is not the same as 'dev <Dev> master' fdb...

I think bridge fdb get works in a different way, as I know the get
functionality gets all fdb entries from all devices and filters them (if
I am not mistaken)...
