bridge: kernel panic when unloading bridge module

There is a race condition when unloading bridge and netfilter.

The problem happens if __fake_rtable is in use by a skb
coming in, while someone starts to unload bridge.ko.
br_netfilter_fini() is called at the beginning of unload
in br_deinit() while skbs still are being forwarded and
transferred to local ip stack. Thus there is a possibility
of the __fake_rtable pointer not being removed in a skb that
goes up to ip stack. This results in a kernel panic, as
ip_rcv() calls the input-function of __fake_rtable, which
is NULL.

Moving the call of br_netfilter_fini() to the end of
br_deinit() solves the problem.
