bridge: fix hang on removal of bridge via netlink
[ Upstream commit 1ce5cce895309862d2c35d922816adebe094fe4a ] Need to cleanup bridge device timers and ports when being bridge device is being removed via netlink. This fixes the problem of observed when doing: ip link add br0 type bridge ip link set dev eth1 master br0 ip link set br0 up ip link del br0 which would cause br0 to hang in unregister_netdev because of leftover reference count.
