Merge tag 'batman-adv-for-davem' of git://git.open-mesh.org/linux-merge

Antonio Quartulli says:

====================
Included changes:
- remove useless skb size check in batadv_interface_rx
- basic netns support introduced by Andrew Lunn:
    - prevent virtual interface from changing netns by setting
      NETIF_F_NETNS_LOCAL
    - create virtual interface within the netns of the first
      hard-interface
- introduce detection of complex bridge loops and report event
  to the user (via udev) when the Bridge Loop Avoidance mechanism
  can't prevent them
- minor reference counting bugfixes for the hard_iface object that
  couldn't make it via the net tree
- use kref_get() instead of kref_get_unless_zero() to make reference
  counting bug more visible
- use batadv_compare_eth() all over the code when possible instead of
  plain memcmp()
- minor code cleanup and style adjustments
====================
