As suggested by checkpatch, remove all the references to the
FSF address since the kernel already has one reference in
its documentation.
In this way it is easier to update it in case of future
changes.

The backbone gw check has to be VLAN specific so that code
using it can specify VID where the check has to be done.
In the TT code, the check has been moved into the
tt_global_add() function so that it can be performed on a
per-entry basis instead of ignoring all the TT data received
from another backbone node. Only TT global entries belonging
to the VLAN where the backbone node is connected to are
skipped.
All the other spots where the TT code was checking whether a
node is a backbone have been removed.
Moreover, batadv_bla_is_backbone_gw_orig() now returns bool
since it used to return only 1 or 0.

In order to make batman-adv fully vlan aware later, the
semantic used for variables storing the VLAN ID values has
to be changed in order to be adapted to the new one which
will be used batman-adv wide.
In particular, the VID has to be an "_unsigned_ short int"
and its 4 MSB will be used as a flag bitfield, while the
remaining 12 bits are used to store the real VID value

If the skb is fragmented, the checksum must be computed on the
individual fragments, just using skb->data may fail on fragmented
data. Instead of doing linearizing the packet, use the new
batadv_crc32 to do that more efficiently- it should not hurt
replacing the old crc16 by the new crc32.

This is especially useful if there are no claims yet, but we still want
to know which gateways are using bridge loop avoidance in the network.

The net/mac80211/mlme.c conflict seemed easy enough, accounting for a

If the gateway functionality is used, some broadcast packets (DHCP
requests) may be transmitted as unicast packets. As the bridge loop
avoidance code now only considers the payload Ethernet destination,
it may drop the DHCP request for clients which are claimed by other
backbone gateways, because it falsely infers from the broadcast address
that the right backbone gateway should havehandled the broadcast.
Fix this by checking and delegating the batman-adv packet type used
for transmission.

batman-adv doesn't follow the style for multiline comments that David S. Miller
prefers. All comments should be reformatted to follow this consistent style to
make the code slightly more readable.

batman-adv can be compiled as part of the kernel instead of an module. In that
case the linker will see all non-static symbols of batman-adv and all other
non-static symbols of the kernel. This could lead to symbol collisions. A
prefix for the batman-adv symbols that defines their private namespace avoids
such a problem.

The define CONFIG_BATMAN_ADV_BLA switches the bridge loop avoidance
on - skip it, and the bridge loop avoidance is not compiled in.
This is useful if binary size should be saved or the feature is
not needed.

When multiple backbone gateways relay the same broadcast from the
backbone into the mesh, other nodes in the mesh may receive this
broadcast multiple times. To avoid this, the crc checksums of
received broadcasts are recorded and new broadcast packets with
the same content may be dropped if received by another gateway.

This second version of the bridge loop avoidance for batman-adv
avoids loops between the mesh and a backbone (usually a LAN).
By connecting multiple batman-adv mesh nodes to the same ethernet
segment a loop can be created when the soft-interface is bridged
into that ethernet segment. A simple visualization of the loop
involving the most common case - a LAN as ethernet segment:
node1 <-- LAN --> node2
| |
wifi <-- mesh --> wifi
Packets from the LAN (e.g. ARP broadcasts) will circle forever from
node1 or node2 over the mesh back into the LAN.
With this patch, batman recognizes backbone gateways, nodes which are
part of the mesh and backbone/LAN at the same time. Each backbone
gateway "claims" clients from within the mesh to handle them
exclusively. By restricting that only responsible backbone gateways
may handle their claimed clients traffic, loops are effectively
avoided.
