Hi,

I made an early design mistake by adding support for bridge reject that
relies on the IP stack, that was not a good idea. So this patchset
amends the situation by:

1) Refactoring common code that can be reused to forge the reject packets
   now available at nf_reject_ipv4 and nf_reject_ipv6 from the bridge stack.

2) Forge the reject packets (TCP and ICMP dest unreach) that are injected
   into the bridge stack using br_deliver() to the bridge port origin.

So the idea is to avoid any interaction with the IP stack, that has been
causing us problems specifically in the br_netfilter code. This also
aims to provide a native replacement to the use of iptables ... -j REJECT
from br_netfilter.

Note that I have restricted the reject expression to bridge prerouting and
input. Otherwise, I think we may send several reject reject packets when
there is no destination yet in the bridge fdb.

Comments welcome. Thanks.
