bridge: Make filter_index match in signedness

Also, a plain majority vote suggests that this really just a wrong declaration in link.c as several declarations of filter_index as signed int exist. [...] My followup on this was: I think the majority is wrong. filter_index is assigned exclusively from if_nametoindex or ll_name_to_index which both return unsigned int. Changing it to unsigned everywhere seems better. This has been minimally tested by using the bridge tool to add vids and showing available vids on different devices.
