From: Phil Oester <kernel@linuxace.com>

As reported by Casper Gripenberg, in a bridged setup, using ip[6]t_REJECT
with the tcp-reset option sends out reset packets with the src MAC address
of the local bridge interface, instead of the MAC address of the intended
destination.  This causes some routers/firewalls to drop the reset packet
as it appears to be spoofed.  Fix this by bypassing ip[6]_local_out and
setting the MAC of the sender in the tcp reset packet.

This closes netfilter bugzilla #531.
