Linus Lüssing 8a4023c5b5 batman-adv: Fix potential synchronization issues in mcast tvlv handler
So far the mcast tvlv handler did not anticipate the processing of
multiple incoming OGMs from the same originator at the same time. This
can lead to various issues:

* Broken refcounting: For instance two mcast handlers might both assume
  that an originator just got multicast capabilities and will together
  wrongly decrease mcast.num_disabled by two, potentially leading to
  an integer underflow.

* Potential kernel panic on hlist_del_rcu(): Two mcast handlers might
  one after another try to do an
  hlist_del_rcu(&orig->mcast_want_all_*_node). The second one will
  cause memory corruption / crashes.
  (Reported by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>)

Right in the beginning the code path makes assumptions about the current
multicast related state of an originator and bases all updates on that. The
easiest and least error prune way to fix the issues in this case is to
serialize multiple mcast handler invocations with a spinlock.
