The vis code takes a copy of the data inside the skbuf if it is interesting
for us, so we always need to release the skbuf.

The routing code has 2 sections which warn about ttl exceeded. The
corresponding warnings were identical which makes it hard to debug. In
addition, batman-adv does not need to warn about ttl exceeded in case
we encountered an echo request as this is commonly used to generate
traceroute graphs.

printk() since kernel version 2.6.29 has supported printing MAC
addresses directly, as an extension to the %p processing. This patch
makes use of this for printk() and bat_dbg(). This will remove the
overhead of using addr_to_string() which is normally never actually
output.
Fixed a typo found by Gus Wirth.

This patch removes the (ugly and racy) packet receiving thread and the
kernel socket usage. Instead, packets are received directly by registering
the ethernet type and handling skbs instead of self-allocated buffers.
Some consequences and comments:
* we don't copy the payload data when forwarding/sending/receiving data
anymore. This should boost performance.
* packets from/to different interfaces can be (theoretically) processed
simultaneously. Only the big originator hash lock might be in the way.
* no more polling or sleeping/wakeup/scheduling issues when receiving
packets
* this might introduce new race conditions.
* aggregation and vis code still use packet buffers and are not (yet)
converted.
* all spinlocks were converted to irqsave/restore versions to solve
some lifelock issues when preempted. This might be overkill, some
of these locks might be reverted later.
* skb copies are only done if neccesary to avoid overhead
performance differences:
* we made some "benchmarks" with intel laptops.
* bandwidth on Gigabit Ethernet increased from ~500 MBit/s to ~920 MBit/s
* ping latency decresed from ~2ms to ~0.2 ms
I did some tests on my 9 node qemu environment and could confirm that
usual sending/receiving, forwarding, vis, batctl ping etc works.

there are some kmallocs left which are not checked whether they succeeds or
not, which might lead to corrupted data structures if the system memory is
full. This patch should clean up the remaining unchecked kmalloc()s.

instead of dynamically registering hash iterators, calling functions are
changed to register the iterator objects statically. The two advantages are:
* no memory leaks when aborting from hash_iterate()
* no calls to kmalloc/kfree, therefore a little faster/safer
Tested with 9 QEMU instances, no obvious regression found.
