[NETFILTER]: bridge netfilter: add deferred output hooks to feature-removal-schedule
Add bridge netfilter deferred output hooks to feature-removal-schedule
and disable them by default. Until their removal they will be
activated by the physdev match when needed.

262 | What: Bridge netfilter deferred IPv4/IPv6 output hook calling | ||
263 | When: January 2007 | ||
264 | Why: The deferred output hooks are a layering violation causing unusual | ||
265 | and broken behaviour on bridge devices. Examples of things they | ||
266 | break include QoS classifation using the MARK or CLASSIFY targets, | ||
267 | the IPsec policy match and connection tracking with VLANs on a | ||
268 | bridge. Their only use is to enable bridge output port filtering | ||
269 | within iptables with the physdev match, which can also be done by | ||
270 | combining iptables and ebtables using netfilter marks. Until it | ||
271 | will get removed the hook deferral is disabled by default and is | ||
272 | only enabled when needed. | ||
