[NETFILTER]: Fix skb->nf_bridge lifetime issues
The bridge netfilter code simulates the NF_IP_PRE_ROUTING hook and skips the real hook by registering with high priority and returning NF_STOP if skb->nf_bridge is present and the BRNF_NF_BRIDGE_PREROUTING flag is not set. The flag is only set during the simulated hook. Because skb->nf_bridge is only freed when the packet is destroyed, the packet will not only skip the first invocation of NF_IP_PRE_ROUTING, but in the case of tunnel devices on top of the bridge also all further ones. Forwarded packets from a bridge encapsulated by a tunnel device and sent as locally outgoing packet will also still have the incorrect bridge information from the input path attached. We already have nf_reset calls on all RX/TX paths of tunnel devices, so simply reset the nf_bridge field there too. As an added bonus, the bridge information for locally delivered packets is now also freed when the packet is queued to a socket.
