bridge: Partially disable netpoll support
The new netpoll code in bridging contains use-after-free bugs that are non-trivial to fix. This patch fixes this by removing the code that uses skbs after they're freed. As a consequence, this means that we can no longer call bridge from the netpoll path, so this patch also removes the controller function in order to disable netpoll.
