Subject: [PATCH] bridge: allow creating bridge devices with netlink

Add netlink device ops to allow creating bridge device via netlink.
This works in a manner similar to vlan, macvlan and bonding.

Example:
  # ip link add link dev br0 type bridge
  # ip link del dev br0

The change required rearranging initializtion code to deal with
being called by create link. Most of the initialization happens
in br_dev_setup, but allocation of stats is done in ndo_init callback
to deal with allocation failure. Sysfs setup has to wait until
after the network device kobject is registered.
