  There is no need to hold the rtnl-lock during the preparation of the
initial OGM of a hard interface.

Besides, it is a little uggly to have batadv_schedule_bat_ogm() executed
with an rtnl-lock on its first run but without an rtnl-lock in its
rearmed versions as it makes additions to batadv_schedule_bat_ogm() that
require an rtnl-lock difficult.

the compat code for the multicast-basic patchset needs an rtnl-lock
somewhere within batadv_schedule_bat_ogm()

Ok, please ignore this patch for now. I'm going to do it
differently with the multicast patches which won't need an
rtnl-lock.

Cheers, Linus
