Danielle Ratson 7445aaa9fe bridge: Use ndisc_parse_options() to parse ND options in br_nd_send()
Replace the manual ND option parsing loop in br_nd_send() with
ndisc_parse_options(), which provides proper validation and avoids the
class of bugs that were fixed by commit 53fc685243 ("bridge: Avoid
infinite loop when suppressing NS messages with invalid options") and
commit 850837965a ("bridge: br_nd_send: validate ND option lengths").

Use ndisc_opt_addr_data() to extract the source link-layer address
from the parsed options, which correctly validates the option length
for the underlying device type.

Export ndisc_parse_options() so that it can be resolved from the bridge
when it is built as a module (CONFIG_BRIDGE=m); otherwise modpost fails
with an undefined symbol.
