I'm still not sure it's correct to break iteration if
ndo_bridge_getlink returns -EOPNOTSUPP (possible if the driver supports
a mixture of bridging and non-bridging devices).

Never mind that - the driver can just return 0 for those devices, as
ixgbe is doing.  But the bug this patch addresses seems to be real.
