Subject: bridge: add rcu_read_lock on transmit

Long ago, when bridge was converted to RCU, rcu lock was equivalent
to having preempt disabled. RCU has changed a lot since then and
bridge code was still assuming the since transmit was called with
bottom half disabled, it was RCU safe.

Testing now, but it didn't quite apply cleanly on 2.6.35-rc.

I fixed up the comment thinko Johannes noticed, added a tested-by tag,
