bridge: fix potential use-after-free when hook returns QUEUE or STOLEN verdict



Zefir Kurtisi reported kernel panic with an openwrt specific patch.
However, it turns out that mainline has a similar bug waiting to happen.

Once NF_HOOK() returns the skb is in undefined state and must not be
used.   Moreover, the okfn must consume the skb to support async
processing (NF_QUEUE).

Current okfn in this spot doesn't consume it and caller assumes that
NF_HOOK return value tells us if skb was freed or not, but thats wrong.

It "works" because no in-tree user registers a NFPROTO_BRIDGE hook at
LOCAL_IN that returns STOLEN or NF_QUEUE verdicts.

Once we add NF_QUEUE support for nftables bridge this will break --
NF_QUEUE holds the skb for async processing, caller will erronoulsy
return RX_HANDLER_PASS and on reinject netfilter will access free'd skb.

Fix this by pushing skb up the stack in the okfn instead.

NB: It also seems dubious to use LOCAL_IN while bypassing PRE_ROUTING
completely in this case but this is how its been forever so it seems
preferable to not change this.
