 Log Message:
 Restructure ether_input and bridge_input
 
 The network stack of NetBSD is well organized and
 layered. A packet reception is processed from a
 lower layer to an upper layer one by one. However,
 ether_input and bridge_input are not structured so.
 bridge_input is called inside ether_input.
 
 The new structure replaces ifnet#if_input of a bridge
 member with bridge_input when the member is attached.
 So a packet goes straight on a packet reception via
 a bridge, bridge_input => ether_input => ip_input.
 
 The change is part of a patch of Lloyd Parkes submitted
 in PR 48104. Unlike the patch, the change doesn't
 intend to change the behavior of the packet processing.
 Another patch will fix PR 48104.
