    netfilter: nf_tables: Add meta expression key for bridge interface name

You can't use "select BRIDGE_NETFILTER" for NF_TABLES_BRIDGE, because
it is BRIDGE_NETFILTER which provides the proper dependencies, and
in particular the crucial "INET" dependency.

When you use a hammer like "select" it bypasses the dependencies which
are usually enforced by BRIDGE_NETFILTER and causes the problems we
are seeing here.

Pablo please fix this, thank you.
