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.
While at it, rename batadv_orig_node_get_router() to
batadv_orig_router_get() to follow the new naming scheme.

For the network wide multi interface optimization it is required to save
metrics per outgoing interface in one neighbor. Therefore a new type is
introduced to keep interface-specific information. This also requires
some changes in access and list management.
The compare and equiv_or_better API calls are changed to take the
outgoing interface into consideration.

In different situations it is possible that the DHCP server
or client uses broadcast Ethernet frames to send messages
to each other. The GW component in batman-adv takes care of
using bat-unicast packets to bring broadcast DHCP
Discover/Requests to the "best" server.
On the way back the DHCP server usually sends unicasts,
but upon client request it may decide to use broadcasts as
well.
This patch improves the GW component so that it now snoops
and sends as unicast all the DHCP packets, no matter if they
were generated by a DHCP server or client.

The function batadv_gw_deselect() is actually not deselecting
anything. It is just informing the GW code to perform a
re-election procedure when possible.
The current gateway is not being touched at all and therefore
the name of this function is rather misleading.
Rename it to batadv_gw_reselect() to batadv_gw_reselect()
to make its behaviour easier to grasp.

When switching from gw_mode client to either off or server
the current selected gateway has to be deselected.
In this way when client mode is enabled again a gateway
re-election is forced and a GW_ADD event is consequently
sent.
The current behaviour instead is to keep the current gateway
leading to no GW_ADD event when gw_mode client is selected
for a second time

In case of a VLAN tagged frame the ethhdr pointer is
moved forward by 4 bytes so that the offset of h_proto
in struct ethhdr matches the real
h_vlan_encapsulated_proto address in the skb. While this

I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived
list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)
The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter:
hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member)
Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only
they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking
exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate.
Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required:
- Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h
- Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones.
- A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this
was modified to use 'obj->member' instead.
- Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator
properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.
The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here:
