bridge: message age needs to increase, not decrease.
commit bridge: send proper message_age in config BPDU
added this gem:
bpdu.message_age = (jiffies - root->designated_age)
p->designated_age = jiffies + bpdu->message_age;
Notice how bpdu->message_age is negated when reassigned to
bpdu.message_age. This causes message age to decrease breaking the
STP protocol.
