[RFCv2,3/6] batman-adv: split out router from orig_node

  From: Simon Wunderlich <simon@open-mesh.com>

For the network wide multi interface optimization there are different
routers for each outgoing interface (outgoing from the OGM perspective,
incoming for payload traffic). To reflect this, change the router and
associated data to a list of routers.

Signed-off-by: Simon Wunderlich <simon@open-mesh.com>

Changes to RFC:
 * rebase on current master
 * remove useless goto
 * split out batman_seqno_reset as well to avoid false seqno window
   protections

Since you have the opportunity, please sort these new declarations by line
length (like you have done 6 lines above).

you know this is very ugly, right? :-)

you could try to remove sameseq and similar_ttl and use temporary variables for
last_real_seqno, seqno, last_ttl and header.ttl.....

...then you can try to make them fit this 'if' directly.

Perhaps we can consider them like "locally-generated". I think we should ask
Martin to give us his feedback :-)

we never use the ':' after Returns (and a . is missing at the end of the
sentence). Please make sure that all the kernel doc you added respect those
guidelines.

Please, be sure this is not creating any race condition during the cleanup phase.
We had problems int the past with a RCU callback scheduling another callback
too.

The cleanup code has an rcu_barrier() to ensure everything is done and then
safely free the various structures. What you do here may violate this assumption
and the scheduled callback may generate a General Protection Fault.

Same here. Please ensure everything is ok when scheduling a callback from
another callback.

why do you need both the rcu and the neigh_list_lock at the same time?
You acquire and release the two in the same moment (maybe I am overlooking
something?)

why void on another line? It should fit in the next one.
