Depending on the kernel in use, manually removing a bridge during
OVS_VSWITCHD_STOP can cause the kernel to send a route update that
refers to the bridge device which is being deleted. OVS can't make sense
of these messages, resulting in logs like the following:

route_table|DBG|Could not find interface name[702]: No such device or
address
netlink_notifier|WARN|received bad netlink message

One such example kernel is the Ubuntu 3.16.0-33-generic linux package.

The bridge doesn't need to be explicitly removed, as the OVSDB
configuration for each test will be cleared before executing the next.
Drop this extra step.

An alternative would be to force test writers to add additional
boilerplate to ensure that they delete addresses from bridges before
calling OVS_VSWITCHD_STOP. This approach seems to be lower maintenance.
