Subject: [PATCH 1/6] batman-adv: free nf_bridge member on locally delivered skb

If an interface enslaved into batman-adv is a bridge (or a
virtual interface built on top of a bridge) the nf_bridge
member of the skbs reaching the soft-interface is filled
with the state about "netfilter bridge" operations.

Then, if one of such skbs is locally delivered, the nf_bridge
member should be cleaned up to avoid that the old state
could mess up with other "netfilter bridge" operations when
entering a second bridge.
This is needed because batman-adv is an encapsulation
protocol.

However at the moment skb->nf_bridge is not released at all
leading to bogus "netfilter bridge" behaviours.
Fix this by releasing skb->nf_bridge before an skb gets
delivered to the upper layer in interface_rx().
