[PATCH 1/2] Revert: "Staging: batman-adv: Adding netfilter-bridge hooks"

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Sven Eckelmann <sven.eckelmann at gmx.de>

This reverts commit 96d592ed599434d2d5f339a1d282871bc6377d2c.

The netfilter hook seems to be misused and may leak skbs in situations
when NF_HOOK returns NF_STOLEN. It may not filter everything as
expected. Also the ethernet bridge tables are not yet capable to
understand batman-adv packet correctly.

It was only added for testing purposes and can be removed again.
