When the Bridge Loop Avoidance component is not compiled-in, its boolean switch
should be not compiled as well. This patch surrounds the switch with a proper
ifdef.
This behaviour was introduced by 9fd6b0615b5499b270d39a92b8790e206cf75833
("batman-adv: add bridge loop avoidance compile option")

If the skb is fragmented, the checksum must be computed on the
individual fragments, just using skb->data may fail on fragmented
data. Instead of doing linearizing the packet, use the new
batadv_crc32 to do that more efficiently- it should not hurt
replacing the old crc16 by the new crc32.

tt_poss_change is a node-wide flag which tells whether the node is in a roaming
state (a client recently moved to/away from it) in order to let it apply special
re-routing rules. However this flag does not give a clear idea of the current
state because it is not possible to understand *which client* is actually
involved in the roaming. For this reason a better approach has been chosen:
instead of using a node-wide variable, the roaming state is now given by a
per-tt_entry ROAM flag which, in case of packet coming through the node, tells
the node whether the real destination is in roaming state or not.
With this flag change, batadv_check_unicast_ttvn() has also been rearranged in
order to better fit the new re-routing logic and to be much more readable.

For some reasons (bridge forward delay, network device setup order, etc)
the initial bridge loop avoidance announcement packets may be lost. This
may lead to problems in finding other backbone gws, and therfore create
loops in the startup time.
Fix this by extending the waiting periods to 3 (define can be changed)
before allowing broadcast traffic.

With the current TT mechanism a new client joining the network is not
immediately able to communicate with other hosts because its MAC address has not
been announced yet. This situation holds until the first OGM containing its
joining event will be spread over the mesh network.
This behaviour can be acceptable in networks where the originator interval is a
small value (e.g. 1sec) but if that value is set to an higher time (e.g. 5secs)
the client could suffer from several malfunctions like DHCP client timeouts,
etc.
This patch adds an early detection mechanism that makes nodes in the network
able to recognise "not yet announced clients" by means of the broadcast packets
they emitted on connection (e.g. ARP or DHCP request). The added client will
then be confirmed upon receiving the OGM claiming it or purged if such OGM
is not received within a fixed amount of time.

The structure batadv_priv grows everytime a new feature is introduced. It gets
hard to find the parts of the struct that belongs to a specific feature. This
becomes even harder by the fact that not every feature uses a prefix in the
member name.
The variables for bridge loop avoidence, gateway handling, translation table
and visualization server are moved into separate structs that are included in
the bat_priv main struct.

Added additional counters in a bat_stats structure, which are exported
through the ethtool api. The counters are specific to batman-adv and
includes:
forwarded packets and bytes
management packets and bytes (aggregated OGMs at this point)
translation table packets
New counters are added by extending "enum bat_counters" in types.h and
adding corresponding descriptive string(s) to bat_counters_strings in
soft-iface.c.
Counters are increased by calling batadv_add_counter() and incremented
by one by calling batadv_inc_counter().

This second version of the bridge loop avoidance for batman-adv
avoids loops between the mesh and a backbone (usually a LAN).
By connecting multiple batman-adv mesh nodes to the same ethernet
segment a loop can be created when the soft-interface is bridged
into that ethernet segment. A simple visualization of the loop
involving the most common case - a LAN as ethernet segment:
node1 <-- LAN --> node2
| |
wifi <-- mesh --> wifi
Packets from the LAN (e.g. ARP broadcasts) will circle forever from
node1 or node2 over the mesh back into the LAN.
With this patch, batman recognizes backbone gateways, nodes which are
part of the mesh and backbone/LAN at the same time. Each backbone
gateway "claims" clients from within the mesh to handle them
exclusively. By restricting that only responsible backbone gateways
may handle their claimed clients traffic, loops are effectively
avoided.
