    net: say "local" instead of "static" addresses in ndo_dflt_fdb_{add,del} · 78ecc890

    "Static" is a loaded word, and probably not what the author meant when
    the code was written.
    
    In particular, this looks weird:
    $ bridge fdb add dev swp0 00:01:02:03:04:05 local        # totally fine, but
    $ bridge fdb add dev swp0 00:01:02:03:04:05 static
    [ 2020.708298] swp0: FDB only supports static addresses  # hmm what?
    
    By looking at the implementation which uses dev_uc_add/dev_uc_del it is
    absolutely clear that only local addresses are supported, and the proper
    Network Unreachability Detection state is being used for this purpose
    (user space indeed sets NUD_PERMANENT when local addresses are meant).
    So it is just the message that is wrong, fix it.
