This fix prevents nodes to wrongly create a 00:00:00:00:00:00 originator
which can potentially interfere with the rest of the neighbor statistics.

When the MAC address of the primary interface is changed,
update the originator address in the ELP and OGM skb buffers as
well in order to reflect the change.

The functions batadv_neigh_ifinfo_get increase the reference counter of the
batadv_neigh_ifinfo. These have to be reduced again when the reference is
not used anymore to correctly free the objects.

batadv_neigh_ifinfo_get can return NULL when it cannot find (even when only
temporarily) anymore the neigh_ifinfo in the list neigh->ifinfo_list. This
has to be checked to avoid kernel Oopses when the ifinfo is dereferenced.
This a situation which isn't expected but is already handled by functions
like batadv_v_neigh_cmp. The same kind of warning is therefore used before
the function returns without dereferencing the pointers.

Use a static string when showing table headers rather then
a nonsense parametric one with fixed arguments.
It is easier to grep and it does not need to be recomputed
at runtime each time.

At the moment there is no explicit reactivation of an hard-interface
upon NETDEV_UP event. In case of B.A.T.M.A.N. IV the interface is
reactivated as soon as the next OGM is scheduled for sending, but this
mechanism does not work with B.A.T.M.A.N. V. The latter does not rely
on the same scheduling mechanism as its predecessor and for this reason
the hard-interface remains deactivated forever after being brought down
once.
This patch fixes the reactivation mechanism by adding a new routing API
which explicitly allows each algorithm to perform any needed operation
upon interface re-activation.
Such API is optional and is implemented by B.A.T.M.A.N. V only and it
just takes care of setting the iface status to ACTIVE

In case of wireless interface retrieve the throughput by
querying cfg80211. To perform this call a separate work
must be scheduled because the function may sleep and this
is not allowed within an RCU protected context (RCU in this
case is used to iterate over all the neighbours).
Use ethtool to retrieve information about an Ethernet link
like HALF/FULL_DUPLEX and advertised bandwidth (e.g.
100/10Mbps).
The metric is updated each time a new ELP packet is sent,
this way it is possible to timely react to a metric
variation which can imply (for example) a neighbour
disconnection.

This attribute is exported to user space to disable the link
throughput auto-detection by setting a fixed value.
The throughput override value is used when batman-adv is
computing the link throughput towards a neighbour.
If the value is set to 0 then batman-adv will try to detect
the throughput by itself.

This is the initial implementation of the new OGM protocol
(version 2). It has been designed to work on top of the
newly added ELP.
In the previous version the OGM protocol was used to both
measure link qualities and flood the network with the metric
information. In this version the protocol is in charge of
the latter task only, leaving the former to ELP.
This means being able to decouple the interval used by the
neighbor discovery from the OGM broadcasting, which revealed
to be costly in dense networks and needed to be relaxed so
leading to a less responsive routing protocol.

The B.A.T.M.A.N. protocol originally only used a single
message type (called OGM) to determine the link qualities to
the direct neighbors and spreading these link quality
information through the whole mesh. This procedure is
summarized on the BATMAN concept page and explained in
details in the RFC draft published in 2008.
This approach was chosen for its simplicity during the
protocol design phase and the implementation. However, it
also bears some drawbacks:
* Wireless interfaces usually come with some packet loss,
therefore a higher broadcast rate is desirable to allow
a fast reaction on flaky connections.
Other interfaces of the same host might be connected to
Ethernet LANs / VPNs / etc which rarely exhibit packet
loss would benefit from a lower broadcast rate to reduce
overhead.
* It generally is more desirable to detect local link
quality changes at a faster rate than propagating all
these changes through the entire mesh (the far end of
the mesh does not need to care about local link quality
changes that much). Other optimizations strategies, like
reducing overhead, might be possible if OGMs weren't
used for all tasks in the mesh at the same time.
As a result detecting local link qualities shall be handled
by an independent message type, ELP, whereas the OGM message
type remains responsible for flooding the mesh with these
link quality information and determining the overall path
transmit qualities.
