>     bridge: Do not unregister all PF_BRIDGE rtnl operations
> introduced a bug where a removal of a single bridge from a
> multi-bridge system would remove MDB netlink handlers.
> The handlers should only be removed once all bridges are gone, but
> since we don't keep track of the number of bridge interfaces, it's
> simpler to do it when the bridge module is unloaded.  To make it
> consistent, move the registration code into module initialization
> code path.
