When trying to redirect bridged frames to the bridge device itself
via the ebtables nat-prerouting chain and the dnat target then this
currently fails:
The ethernet destination of the frame is dnat'ed to the MAC address of
the bridge itself just fine and the correctly altered frame can even
be captured via a tcpdump on br0 (with or without promisc mode).
However, the IP code drops it in the beginning of ip_input.c/ip_rcv()
as the dnat target did not update the skb->pkt_type. If after
dnat'ing the packet is now destined to us then the skb->pkt_type
needs to be updated from PACKET_OTHERHOST to PACKET_HOST, too.

Changelog v2:
* refrain from altering pkt_type for multicast packets
with a unicast destination MAC
