[PATCH] netfilter: bridge: clarify bridge/netfilter message

[Stefan Agner]

When using bridge without bridge netfilter enabled the message
displayed is rather confusing and leads to belive that a deprecated
feature is in use. Use IS_MODULE to be explicit that the message only
affects users which use bridge netfilter as module and reword the
message.
