     netfilter: drop bridge nf reset from nf_reset

     commit 174e23810cd31
     ("sk_buff: drop all skb extensions on free and skb scrubbing") made napi
     recycle always drop skb extensions.  The additional skb_ext_del() that is
     performed via nf_reset on napi skb recycle is not needed anymore.

     Most nf_reset() calls in the stack are there so queued skb won't block
     'rmmod nf_conntrack' indefinitely.

     This removes the skb_ext_del from nf_reset, and renames it to a more
     fitting nf_reset_ct().

     In a few selected places, add a call to skb_ext_reset to make sure that
     no active extensions remain.

     I am submitting this for "net", because we're still early in the release
     cycle.  The patch applies to net-next too, but I think the rename causes
     needless divergence between those trees.

Added some compat layer fixups for nf_reset_ct.  This is just a portion
of the upstream commit that applies to openvswitch.
