[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.
