Wei Fang 05b5ee610f net: dsa: netc: implement dynamic FDB entry ageing
The NETC switch does not age out dynamic FDB entries automatically.
Without software management, stale entries persist after topology
changes and cause incorrect forwarding.

Add a delayed work that periodically removes entries that have not been
refreshed within the specified cycles. The effective ageing time is:

  ageing_time = fdbt_ageing_delay * 100

Default values are 3s interval and 100 cycles (300s total), matching
the IEEE 802.1Q default ageing time. The work starts when the first
port joins a bridge (tracked via br_cnt) and is cancelled when the
last port leaves. All FDB operations are serialized under fdbt_lock.

Implement .set_ageing_time() to allow the bridge layer to reconfigure
ageing parameters on demand.
