The whole Idea of this patch was to replace nf_bridge_get_physindev with 
nf_bridge_get_physinif before the patch which propagates net, so that we 
don't need to propagate net first and then in later patch remove it when 
replacing with nf_bridge_get_physinif.

But I spoiled it by forgetting to remove net propagation to 
__build_packet_message...

Is it ok if I leave this patch as is, but instead remove:
