netfilter: bridge: make BRNF_PKT_TYPE flag a bool
nf_bridge_info->mask is used for several things, for example to remember if skb->pkt_type was set to OTHER_HOST. For a bridge, OTHER_HOST is expected case. For ip forward its a non-starter though -- routing expects PACKET_HOST. Bridge netfilter thus changes OTHER_HOST to PACKET_HOST before hook invocation and then un-does it after hook traversal. This information is irrelevant outside of br_netfilter. After this change, ->mask now only contains flags that need to be known outside of br_netfilter in fast-path. Future patch changes mask into a 2bit state field in sk_buff, so that we can remove skb->nf_bridge pointer for good and consider all remaining places that access nf_bridge info content a not-so fastpath.
