Subject[PATCH 1/3] net/bridge/br_if.c: don't use _WORK_NAR
Afaics, noautorel work_struct buys nothing for "struct net_bridge_port".

If del_nbp()->cancel_delayed_work(&p->carrier_check) fails, port_carrier_check
may be called later anyway. So the reading of *work in port_carrier_check() is
equally unsafe with or without this patch.
