br_mst_is_enabled() is true when the bridge MST option is set and the
port has a VLAN group, and nbp_vlan_init() installs a VLAN group on
every port even when VLAN filtering is disabled.  While it is true,
ingress treats the port as forwarding and egress skips the
BR_STATE_FORWARDING check, so that the per-VLAN MST state is enforced
instead.  That state is only checked when VLAN filtering is enabled,
though: br_allowed_ingress() returns early otherwise, and
br_allowed_egress() only checks frames that were VLAN-filtered on
ingress.

With MST enabled and VLAN filtering disabled, no port state is enforced
at all, and a port in BR_STATE_BLOCKING or BR_STATE_DISABLED still
forwards traffic, defeating STP and MRP loop protection.  MST can be
enabled in this configuration, since br_mst_set_enabled() only requires
that no port has a VLAN, for example with default_pvid 0.  In that setup
a BLOCKING port kept forwarding broadcast frames while MST was enabled,
and stopped when MST was disabled.

Commit 8dca36978aa8 ("net: bridge: fix use-after-free due to MST port
state bypass") stopped this bypass during port deletion by also
requiring the port VLAN group; the bypass itself remained.

Also require VLAN filtering in br_mst_is_enabled(), so the normal port
state checks apply until VLAN filtering is enabled.

Hi!

This is an automated message. This series looks like a fix, but its
commit messages seem to be missing some information:

 - How the issue was discovered, e.g. hit in production, hit during
   development, syzbot report, manual code inspection, LLM or static
   analysis tool scan.

Please do not repost the series just to address the above. Instead,
reply to this email with the missing information, so that reviewers
can take it into account. If the series needs another revision for
other reasons, please include the information in the commit messages
then.

The evaluation is done by an LLM so it may be wrong, if you think
that is the case please reply and explain.
