My main motivation behind not making this static was that
there would be possibly other places in the bridge code 
(besides br_netfilter.c) where we enter the IP stack and might 
want to call this. Not sure if it's indeed the case though..

I checked by doing make allmodconfig as well as looking by
git grep 'br_parse_ip_options'
