[VLAN/BRIDGE]: Fix "skb_pull_rcsum - Fatal exception in interrupt"

I tried to preserve bridging code as it was before, but logic is quite
strange - I think we should free skb on error, since it is already
unshared and thus will just leak.

Herbert Xu states:

If this happens it'll be a double-free on skb since we'll
return NF_DROP which makes the caller free it too.

We could return NF_STOLEN to prevent that but I'm not sure
whether that's correct netfilter semantics.  Patrick, could
you please make a call on this?

Patrick McHardy states:

NF_STOLEN should work fine here.
