batman-adv: prevent using any virtual device created on batman-adv as hard-interface

Browse Source 
Any virtual device created on top of a batman-adv mesh interface must be
prevented to be used to create a new mesh network (this would lead to an
unwanted batman-over-batman configuration)

/**
* batadv_is_on_batman_iface - check if a device is a batman iface descendant
* @net_dev: the device to check
*
* If the user creates any virtual device on top of a batman-adv interface, it
* is important to prevent this new interface to be used to create a new mesh
* network (this behaviour would lead to a batman-over-batman configuration).
* This function recursively checks all the fathers of the device passed as
* argument looking for a batman-adv soft interface.
*
* Returns true if the device is descendant of a batman-adv mesh interface (or
* if it is a batman-adv interface itself), false otherwise
