A good patch should have a reason for the change in the commit message.
This has no reason because there is no reason.

Think about it, you've said it yourself in patch 1:

| Only the kernel can set this FDB entry flag, while userspace can read
| the flag and remove it by replacing or deleting the FDB entry.

So if user space will never add locked FDB entries to the bridge,
then FDB entries with is_locked=true are never transported using
SWITCHDEV_FDB_ADD_TO_DEVICE to drivers, and so, there is no reason at
all to pass is_locked to drivers, just for them to ignore something that
won't appear.

You just need this for SWITCHDEV_FDB_ADD_TO_BRIDGE, so please keep it
only in those code paths, and remove it from net/dsa/slave.c as well.
