The VXLAN driver needs to differentiate between FDB entries learned by the VXLAN driver, and those added by the user. The latter ones shouldn't be taken over by external learning events. This is in accordance with bridge behavior. Therefore, extend the flags bitfield to 16 bits and add a new private NTF flag to mark the user-added entries. This seems preferable to adding a dedicated boolean, because passing the flag, unlike passing e.g. a true, makes it clear what the meaning of the bit is.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
