[BRIDGE]: Fix crash in __ip_route_output_key with bridge netfilter



The bridge netfilter code attaches a fake dst_entry with a pointer to a
fake net_device structure to skbs it passes up to IPv4 netfilter. This
leads to crashes when the skb is passed to __ip_route_output_key when
dereferencing the namespace pointer.

Since bridging can currently only operate in the init_net namespace,
the easiest fix for now is to initialize the nd_net pointer of the
fake net_device struct to &init_net.

Should fix bugzilla 10323: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10323
