Subject: [REGRESSION] iproute: change to if_bridge.h breaks build

This commit causes build problems in iproute.

I can fix it for iproute, by reordering the headers
but on the principle that updates should never break
builds of existing code, this is wrong.

    bridge: include in6.h in if_bridge.h for struct in6_addr
    
    if_bridge.h uses struct in6_addr ip6, but wasn't including the in6.h
    header.  Thomas Backlund originally sent a patch to do this, but this
    revealed a redefinition issue: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/1/13/116
    
    The redefinition issue should have been fixed by the following Linux
    commits:
    ee262ad827f89e2dc7851ec2986953b5b125c6bc inet: defines IPPROTO_* needed for module alias generation
    cfd280c91253cc28e4919e349fa7a813b63e71e8 net: sync some IP headers with glibc
    
    and the following glibc commit:
    6c82a2f8d7c8e21e39237225c819f182ae438db3 Coordinate IPv6 definitions for Linux and glibc
    
    so actually include the header now.
