4389e47af8 batman-adv: rename global if_list to hardif_list
Batman-adv works with "hard interfaces" as well as "soft interfaces".
The new name should better make clear which kind of interfaces this
list stores.

7b36e8eef9 batman-adv: Correct rcu refcounting for orig_node
It might be possible that 2 threads access the same data in the same
rcu grace period. The first thread calls call_rcu() to decrement the
refcount and free the data while the second thread increases the
refcount to use the data. To avoid this race condition all refcount
operations have to be atomic.

f3e0008f01 batman-adv: make broadcast seqno operations atomic
Batman-adv could receive several payload broadcasts at the same time
that would trigger access to the broadcast seqno sliding window to
determine whether this is a new broadcast or not. If these incoming
broadcasts are accessing the sliding window simultaneously it could
be left in an inconsistent state. Therefore it is necessary to make
sure this access is atomic.

a4c135c561 batman-adv: protect bonding with rcu locks
bonding / alternating candidates need to be secured by rcu locks
as well. This patch therefore converts the bonding list
from a plain pointer list to a rcu securable lists and references
the bonding candidates.

ae361ce19f batman-adv: Calculate correct size for merged packets
The routing algorithm must be able to decide if a fragment can be merged with
the missing part and still be passed to a forwarding interface. The fragments
can only differ by one byte in case that the original payload had an uneven
length. In that situation the sender has to inform all possible receivers that
the tail is one byte longer using the flag UNI_FRAG_LARGETAIL.

The combination of UNI_FRAG_LARGETAIL and UNI_FRAG_HEAD flag makes it possible
to calculate the correct length for even and uneven sized payloads.

The original formula missed to add the unicast header at all and forgot to
remove the fragment header of the second fragment. This made the results highly
unreliable and only useful for machines with large differences between the
configured MTUs.
