Instead of using sizeof(struct ethhdr) it is strongly recommended to use the
kernel macro ETH_HLEN. This patch substitute each occurrence of the former
expressione with the latter one.

To increase readability the has_timed_out() functions has been introduced.
This patch converts existing time_after() calls to use this wrapper
function (if applicable).
This patch also converts all timeouts to miliseconds to be consistent.

All batman-adv packets have a common 3 byte header. It can be used to share
some code between different code paths, but it was never explicit stated that
this header has to be always the same for all packets. Therefore, new code
changes always have the problem that they may accidently introduce regressions
by moving some elements around.
A new structure is introduced that contains the common header and makes it
easier visible that these 3 bytes have to be the same for all on-wire packets.

Several functions in the translation table management code assume that the
tt_global_entry and tt_local_entry structures have the same initial fields such
as 'addr' and 'hash_entry'. To improve the code readability and to avoid
mistakes in later changes, a common substructure that substitute the shared
fields has been introduced (struct tt_common_entry).
Thanks to this modification, it has also been possible to slightly reduce the
code length by merging some functions like compare_ltt/gtt() and
tt_local/global_hash_find()

There are two reasons for this fix:
- the result of choose_orig() and vis_choose() is an index and therefore it can't
be negative. Hence it is correct to make the return type unsigned too.
- sizeof(int) may not be the same on ALL the architectures. Since we plan to use
choose_orig() as DHT hash function, we need to guarantee that, given the same
argument, the result is the same. Then it is correct to explicitly express
the size of the return type (and the second argument). Since the expected
length is currently 4, uint32_t is the most convenient choice.

hash_add() returns 0 on success while returns -1 either on error and on
entry already present. The caller could use such information to select
its behaviour. For this reason it is useful that hash_add() returns -1
in case on error and returns 1 in case of entry already present.

Documentation/CodingStyle recommends to use the form
p = kmalloc(sizeof(*p), ...);
to calculate the size of a struct and not the version where the struct
name is spelled out to prevent bugs when the type of p changes. This
also seems appropriate for manipulation of buffers when they are
directly associated with p.

It might be possible that 2 threads access the same data in the same
rcu grace period. The first thread calls call_rcu() to decrement the
refcount and free the data while the second thread increases the
refcount to use the data. To avoid this race condition all refcount
operations have to be atomic.

The batman-adv vis server has to a stack which stores all information
about packets which should be send later. This stack is protected
with a spinlock that is used to prevent concurrent write access to it.
The send_vis_packets function has to take all elements from the stack
and send them to other hosts over the primary interface. The send will
be initiated without the lock which protects the stack.
The implementation using list_for_each_entry_safe has the problem that
it stores the next element as "safe ptr" to allow the deletion of the
current element in the list. The list may be modified during the
unlock/lock pair in the loop body which may make the safe pointer
not pointing to correct next element.
It is safer to remove and use the first element from the stack until no
elements are available. This does not need reduntant information which
would have to be validated each time the lock was removed.
