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.
