Currently, multicast packets from an STA are sent to any according
multicast listener directly through the bridge multicast-to-unicast
feature. Unfortunately, so far this includes the originating STA, too,
resulting in multicast packets being echo'ed back to the originating STA
if it itself is a multicast listener for that group.
This behaviour breaks IPv6 duplicate address detection: An IPv6 Neighbor
Solicitation for IPv6 Duplicate Address Detection is being echo'ed back,
resulting in the host falsely detecting an address collision, which
makes the node unable to claim an IPv6 address and use IPv6 in general.
Mac80211 unfortunately only prevents the echoes for us for multicast
frames. For the multicast frames cast to a unicast destination we'll
need to take care of excluding the originator ourselves.

A call to pskb_may_pull() might reallocate skb->data. Therefore we
should only assign the src-pointer after any potential reallocations.

This reverts commit a080e8e1943156168913d0353a2e99d1151102aa.
It did not fix the problem but just hid some symptom. The real issue was
that IGMP/MLD report suppression was not considered for the
multicast-to-unicast feature. A recent netifd which isolates IGMP/MLD
reports between STAs by utilizing AP-isolation and bridge-hairpinning
should have fixed this.
It is perfectly fine to apply multicast-to-unicast to IPv6 Neighbor
Solicitations, too (once that feature is configured correctly).
