Bridging doesn't try to invoke a downstream netpoll operation at all,
and neither should you.

Also, please format your subject line correctly so I don't have to edit
it when applying your patch.  You need to add an appropriate, lowercase,
subsystem prefix after the [PATCH] tag otherwise people scanning the
shortlog in GIT can't figure out what area your patch is in.

In this situation "vlan: " might be appropriate.
