batman-adv: Unify fragment size calculation
Commit Message
The fragmentation code was replaced in 9b3eab61754d74a93c9840c296013fe3b4a1b606
("batman-adv: Receive fragmented packets and merge") by an implementation which
can handle up to 16 fragments of a packet. The packet is prepared for the split
in fragments by the function batadv_frag_send_packet and the actual split is
done by batadv_frag_create.
Both functions calculate the size of a fragment themself. But their calculation
differs because batadv_frag_send_packet also subtracts ETH_HLEN. Therefore,
the check in batadv_frag_send_packet if a full fragment can be created may
return true even when batadv_frag_create cannot create a full fragment.
The function batadv_frag_create doesn't check the size of the skb before
splitting it and therefore might try to create a larger fragment than the
remaining buffer. This creates an integer underflow and an invalid len is given
to skb_split.

Applied in revision eddbc3d.
