For MDB bulk delete we will need to validate 'MDBA_SET_ENTRY' differently compared to regular delete. Specifically, allow the ifindex to be zero (in case not filtering on bridge port) and force the address to be zero as bulk delete based on address is not supported. Do that by introducing a new policy and choosing the correct policy based on the presence of the 'NLM_F_BULK' flag in the netlink message header. Use nlmsg_parse() for strict validation.

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.
