Subject: [PATCH] BRIDGE : br_fdb_fini() should be __exit_refok instead of
 __exit

Hi David

Building last net-2.6.25 git tree gave me this warning :

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.init.text+0x2a957): Section mismatch: reference to 
.exit.text:br_fdb_fini (between 'br_init' and 'br_fdb_init')

This is because br_init() (marked __init) can call br_fdb_fini() (marked __exit).

I am not sure the following is the right fix, since __exit_refok is quite new, 
and seldom used.

[PATCH] BRIDGE : br_fdb_fini() should be __exit_refok instead of __exit
