hardif_remove_interfaces() removes all hard interfaces from the
hardif_list before freeing and cleaning up any device. However the clean
up procedures in orig_hash_del_if()
(hardif_remove_interface()->hardif_disable_interface()->
orig_hash_del_if()) need the other interfaces still to be present in the
hardif_list. Otherwise it won't renumber any preceding interfaces, which
leads to an unhandled kernel paging request in orig_node_del_if()'s
"/* copy second part */" due to wrong hard_if->if_num's.

With this commit the interface removal on module shutdown will be down
in the same way as removing single interfaces from batman only: One
interface will be removed and cleaned at a time.

Splitted the first patch to keep Linus' fame. There should be no difference
(after all patches are applied) between the first and the second version.
