bridge: Only call /sbin/bridge-stp for the initial network namespace
[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. > > It is possible for unprivileged users to cause /sbin/bridge-stp to be > invoked for any network device name which if /sbin/bridge-stp does not > guard against unreasonable arguments or being invoked twice on the > same network device could cause problems.
