The .get_settings function pointer and the related API was deprecated.
Fortunately, batman-adv is a virtual interface and never provided any
useful information via .get_settings. The stub can therefore be
removed.
This also avoids that incorrect information is shown in ethtool about the
batadv interface.

The ethtool_ops of batman-adv never contained more than a stub for the
get_link function pointer. It was always returning that a link exists even
when the devices was not yet up and therefore nothing resampling a link
could have been available.
Instead use the ethtool helper which returns the current carrier state.

This patch refactors the num_packets counter of a forw_packet in the
following three ways:
1) Removed dual-use of forw_packet::num_packets:
-> now for aggregation purposes only
2) Using forw_packet::skb::cb::num_bcasts instead:
-> for easier access in aggregation code later
3) make access to num_bcasts private to batadv_forw_packet_*()

Consider the following situation which has been found in a test setup:
Gateway B has claimed client C and gateway A has the same backbone
network as B. C sends a broad- or multicast to B and directly after
this packet decides to send another packet to A due to a better TQ
value. B will forward the broad-/multicast into the backbone as it is
the responsible gw and after that A will claim C as it has been
chosen by C as the best gateway. If it now happens that A claims C
before it has received the broad-/multicast forwarded by B (due to
backbone topology or due to some delay in B when forwarding the
packet) we get a critical situation: in the current code A will
immediately unclaim C when receiving the multicast due to the
roaming client scenario although the position of C has not changed
in the mesh. If this happens the multi-/broadcast forwarded by B
will be sent back into the mesh by A and we have looping packets
until one of the gateways claims C again.
In order to prevent this, unclaiming of a client due to the roaming
client scenario is only done after a certain time is expired after
the last claim of the client. 100 ms are used here, which should be
slow enough for big backbones and slow gateways but fast enough not
to break the roaming client use case.

If none of the backbone gateways in a bla setup has already knowledge of
the mac address searched for in an incoming ARP request from the backbone
an address resolution via the DHT of DAT is started. The gateway can send
several ARP requests to different DHT nodes and therefore can get several
replies. This patch assures that not all of the possible ARP replies are
returned to the backbone by checking the local DAT cache of the gateway.
If there is an entry in the local cache the gateway has already learned
the requested address and there is no need to forward the additional reply
to the backbone.
Furthermore it is checked if this gateway has claimed the source of the ARP
reply and only forwards it to the backbone if it has claimed the source or
if there is no claim at all.

If dat is enabled it must be made sure that only the backbone gw which has
claimed the remote destination for the ARP request answers the ARP request
directly if the MAC address is known due to the local dat table. This
prevents multiple ARP replies in a common backbone if more than one
gateway already knows the remote mac searched for in the ARP request.

The gateway selection class variable is shared between different algorithm
versions. But the interpretation of the content is algorithm specific. The
initialization is therefore also algorithm specific.
But this was implemented incorrectly and the initialization for BATMAN_V
always overwrote the value previously written for BATMAN_IV. This could
only be avoided when BATMAN_V was disabled during compile time.
Using a special batadv_algo hook for this initialization avoids this
problem.

The batman-adv fragmentation packets have the design problem that they
cannot be refragmented and cannot handle padding by the underlying link.
The latter often leads to problems when networks are incorrectly configured
and don't use a common MTU.
The sender could for example fragment a 1271 byte frame (plus external
ethernet header (14) and batadv unicast header (10)) to fit in a 1280 bytes
large MTU of the underlying link (max. 1294 byte frames). This would create
a 1294 bytes large frame (fragment 2) and a 55 bytes large frame
(fragment 1). The extra 54 bytes are the fragment header (20) added to each
fragment and the external ethernet header (14) for the second fragment.
Let us assume that the next hop is then not able to transport 1294 bytes to
its next hop. The 1294 byte large frame will be dropped but the 55 bytes
large fragment will still be forwarded to its destination.
Or let us assume that the underlying hardware requires that each frame has
a minimum size (e.g. 60 bytes). Then it will pad the 55 bytes frame to 60
bytes. The receiver of the 60 bytes frame will no longer be able to
correctly assemble the two frames together because it is not aware that 5
bytes of the 60 bytes frame are padding and don't belong to the reassembled
frame.
This can partly be avoided by splitting frames more equally. In this
example, the 675 and 674 bytes large fragment frames could both potentially
reach its destination without being too large or too small.

Trying to split and transmit a unicast packet in 16 parts will fail for
the final fragment: After having sent the 15th one with a frag_packet.no
index of 14, we will increase the the index to 15 - and return with an
error code immediately, even though one more fragment is due for
transmission and allowed.
Fixing this issue by moving the check before incrementing the index.
While at it, adding an unlikely(), because the check is actually more of
an assertion.

The function batadv_frag_skb_buffer was supposed not to consume the skbuff
on errors. This was followed in the helper function
batadv_frag_insert_packet when the skb would potentially be inserted in the
fragment queue. But it could happen that the next helper function
batadv_frag_merge_packets would try to merge the fragments and fail. This
results in a kfree_skb of all the enqueued fragments (including the just
inserted one). batadv_recv_frag_packet would detect the error in
batadv_frag_skb_buffer and try to free the skb again.
The behavior of batadv_frag_skb_buffer (and its helper
batadv_frag_insert_packet) must therefore be changed to always consume the
skbuff to have a common behavior and avoid the double kfree_skb.

The net_xmit_eval has side effects because it is not making sure that e
isn't evaluated twice.
#define net_xmit_eval(e) ((e) == NET_XMIT_CN ? 0 : (e))
The code requested by David Miller [1]
return net_xmit_eval(dev_queue_xmit(skb));
will get transformed into
return ((dev_queue_xmit(skb)) == NET_XMIT_CN ? 0 : (dev_queue_xmit(skb)))
dev_queue_xmit will therefore be tried again (with an already consumed skb)
whenever the return code is not NET_XMIT_CN.

The network stack no longer uses the last_rx member of struct net_device
since the bonding driver switched to use its own private last_rx in
commit 9f242738376d ("bonding: use last_arp_rx in slave_last_rx()").
However, some drivers still (ab)use the field for their own purposes and
some driver just update it without actually using it.
Previously, there was an accompanying comment for the last_rx member
added in commit 4dc89133f49b ("net: add a comment on netdev->last_rx")
which asked drivers not to update is, unless really needed. However,
this commend was removed in commit f8ff080dacec ("bonding: remove
useless updating of slave->dev->last_rx"), so some drivers added later
on still did update last_rx.
Remove all usage of last_rx and switch three drivers (sky2, atp and
smc91c92_cs) which actually read and write it to use their own private
copy in netdev_priv.
Compile-tested with allyesconfig and allmodconfig on x86 and arm.

All conflicts were simple overlapping changes except perhaps
for the Thunder driver.
That driver has a change_mtu method explicitly for sending
a message to the hardware. If that fails it returns an
error.
Normally a driver doesn't need an ndo_change_mtu method becuase those
are usually just range changes, which are now handled generically.
But since this extra operation is needed in the Thunder driver, it has
to stay.
However, if the message send fails we have to restore the original
MTU before the change because the entire call chain expects that if
an error is thrown by ndo_change_mtu then the MTU did not change.
Therefore code is added to nicvf_change_mtu to remember the original
MTU, and to restore it upon nicvf_update_hw_max_frs() failue.

It does not happen often, but may potentially happen when frequently
shutting down and reinitializing an interface. With some carefully
placed msleep()s/mdelay()s it can be reproduced easily.
The issue is, that on interface removal, any still running worker thread
of a forwarding packet will race with the interface purging routine to
free a forwarding packet. Temporarily giving up a spin-lock to be able
to sleep in the purging routine is not safe.
Furthermore, there is a potential general protection fault not just for
the purging side shown above, but also on the worker side: Temporarily
removing a forw_packet from the according forw_{bcast,bat}_list will make
it impossible for the purging routine to catch and cancel it.
# How this patch tries to fix it:
With this patch we split the queue purging into three steps: Step 1),
removing forward packets from the queue of an interface and by that
claim it as our responsibility to free.
Step 2), we are either lucky to cancel a pending worker before it starts
to run. Or if it is already running, we wait and let it do its thing,
except two things:
Through the claiming in step 1) we prevent workers from a) re-arming
themselves. And b) prevent workers from freeing packets which we still
hold in the interface purging routine.
Finally, step 3, we are sure that no forwarding packets are pending or
