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 ]
