c3caf5196c batman-adv: Remove unnecessary hardif_list_lock
hardif_list_lock is unneccessary because we already ensure that no
multiple admin operations can take place through rtnl_lock.
hardif_list_lock only adds additional overhead and complexity.

Critical functions now check whether they are called with rtnl_lock
using ASSERT_RTNL.

It indirectly fixes the problem that orig_hash_del_if() expects that
only one interface is deleted from hardif_list at a time, but
hardif_remove_interfaces() removes all at once and then calls
orig_hash_del_if().

61906ae86d batman-adv: multi vlan support for bridge loop detection
The bridge loop detection for batman-adv allows the bat0 interface
to be bridged into an ethernet segment which other batman-adv nodes
are connected to. In order to also allow multiple VLANs on top of
the bat0 interface to be bridged into the ethernet segment this
patch extends the aforementioned bridge loop detection.

4389e47af8 batman-adv: rename global if_list to hardif_list
Batman-adv works with "hard interfaces" as well as "soft interfaces".
The new name should better make clear which kind of interfaces this
list stores.

ee1e884194 batman-adv: Remove duplicate types.h inclusions
types.h is included by main.h, which is included at the beginning of any
other c-file anyway. Therefore this commit removes those duplicate
inclussions.
