[NETFILTER]: bridge: fix double POST_ROUTING invocation
The bridge code incorrectly causes two POST_ROUTING hook invocations for DNATed packets that end up on the same bridge device. This happens because packets with a changed destination address are passed to dst_output() to make them go through the neighbour output function again to build a new destination MAC address, before they will continue through the IP hooks simulated by bridge netfilter. The resulting hook order is: PREROUTING (bridge netfilter) POSTROUTING (dst_output -> ip_output) FORWARD (bridge netfilter) POSTROUTING (bridge netfilter) The deferred hooks used to abort the first POST_ROUTING invocation, but since the only thing bridge netfilter actually really wants is a new MAC address, we can avoid going through the IP stack completely by simply calling the neighbour output function directly.
