commit 1e8768f064c00a4fbb42e87bc42b371bd9ca01c0

    bridge: netfilter: fix update_pmtu crash with GRE
    
    As GRE tries to call the update_pmtu function on skb->dst and
    bridge supplies an skb->dst that has a NULL ops field, all is
    not well.
    
    This patch fixes this by giving the bridge device an ops field
    with an update_pmtu function.  For the moment I've left all
    other fields blank but we can fill them in later should the
    need arise.
    
    Based on report and patch by Philip Craig.
