Subject: bridge: fix forwarding of IPv6
From: Stephen Hemminger <[email protected]>
[ Upstream commit cb68552858c64db302771469b1202ea09e696329 ]
The commit 6b1e960fdbd75dcd9bcc3ba5ff8898ff1ad30b6e
bridge: Reset IPCB when entering IP stack on NF_FORWARD
broke forwarding of IPV6 packets in bridge because it would
call bp_parse_ip_options with an IPV6 packet.
