These two functions are identical apart from writing different values to
the read/write bit. Create a new function rtl_table_exec to reduce code
duplication.
Also replace the unbounded busy-waiting loop. The new implementation may
sleep, but as the hardware typically responds before the first poll
A full loop accessing all FDB entries can take several milliseconds
(on RTL839x about 20 ms), so give other kernel tasks a chance to run.
This is especially important for rtl83xx_port_fdb_dump which is itself
called in a loop for all ports by the kernel.

This function currently prints three messages for every switch port at
KERN_INFO level. This takes a considerable amount of time during bootup
and can even trigger an external watchdog.
Replace these log messages by a single one at KERN_DEBUG level.

This fixes multiple instances where the realtek drivers may block for
too long. These issues were discovered on HPE 1920 devices where such
behaviour is made obvious by the short timeout of the hardware watchdog.
Changes in v2:
- remove already applied commits
- remove redundant log message in rtl
As learning for the CPU port is now disabled globally, the bit in the
TX header doesn't have any effect anymore. Remove it to make the header
consistent with the global configuration.
Originally, this change was intended to be applied before commit
