Subject: PATCH] Revert "bridge: include in6.h in if_bridge.h for struct 
 in6_addr"

This reverts commit 66f1c44887ba4f47d617f8ae21cf8e04e1892bd7.

iproute2 uses sanitized kernel headers, and this change broke the build.
The problem is that the iproute2 ip/iplink_bridge_slave.c include if_bridge.h
but this causes a redefintion error when Glibc <netlink/in.h> is included.

Since iproute2 is arguably the most important user of network headers,
the uapi header change should be reverted.
