set fake_rtable's dst to NULL to avoid kernel Oops
bridge: set fake_rtable's dst to NULL to avoid kernel Oops
when bridge is deleted before tap/vif device's delete, kernel may
encounter an oops because of NULL reference to fake_rtable's dst.
Set fake_rtable's dst to NULL before sending packets out can solve
this problem.
v4 reformat, change br_drop_fake_rtable(skb) to {}
v3 enrich commit header
v2 introducing new flag DST_FAKE_RTABLE to dst_entry struct.
[ Use "do { } while (0)" for nop br_drop_fake_rtable()
implementation -DaveM ]
