Subject: [PATCH net 3/3] bridge: Fix memory leak when deleting bridge with vlan filtering enabled

We currently don't call br_vlan_flush() when deleting a bridge, which
leads to memory leak if br->vlan_info is allocated.

Steps to reproduce:
  while :
  do
    brctl addbr br0
    bridge vlan add dev br0 vid 10 self
    brctl delbr br0
  done
We can observe the cache size of corresponding slab entry
(as kmalloc-2048 in SLUB) is increased.

kmemleak output:
unreferenced object 0xffff8800b68a7000 (size 2048):
  comm "bridge", pid 2086, jiffies 4295774704 (age 47.656s)
