[Bridge] [PATCH 2.6] bridge -- rmmod device while bridge is down fails

[shemminger at osdl.org (Stephen Hemminger)]

The changes to bridge notifier to handle link state changes introduced
a bug. The case of device unregistering while bridge is down was no
longer being handled. Add comment so maintainer doesn't forget.
