Bridge options have usually been added as separate fields all over the net_bridge struct taking up space and ending up in different cache lines. Let's move them to a single bitfield to save up space and speedup lookups. This patch adds a simple API for option modifying and retrieving using bitops and converts the first user of the API - the bridge vlan options (vlan_enabled and vlan_stats_enabled).

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
