[Bridge] [PATCH RFC WIP 2/5] net: bridge: Skip receive handler on brX interface

The brX interface will soon become a member of the bridge. As such, it
will get a receiver handler assigned. However, we don't want to handle
packets received on this soft interfaces. So detect the condition and
say all the packets pass.
