The bridge test flakes on debug kernels:

  FAIL: Expected 10 packets total, but got 24 packets total
  hook 3 packets 00000008
  hook 4 packets 00000010

The surplus are icmp fragment reassembly timeouts.  The udp flood in the
stress test leaves incomplete datagrams behind in ns2 and ns3, 30 seconds
later their reassembly queues expire and both namespaces send icmp time
exceeded to ns1's pre-bridge address.  ns3 is not reconfigured when the
router is turned into a bridge, so its messages arrive via veth2 and are
then forwarded out of br0. Such packets are locally originated from the
bridge point of view and are queued from the bridge output and
postrouting hooks, which is why only those two counters are off.

Restrict the ipv4 rule to echo request/reply, the icmpv6 rule already
does this.

We used to see 1 flake a day in NIPA before locally queuing this change,
zero flakes since (over 9 days)
