Subject: [PATCH 16/16] batman-adv: Don't leak information through uninitialized packet fields

From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@...fation.org>

The reserved fields in batman-adv packets are not set to a constant value. The
content of these memory regions is leaked unintentionally to the network.

This regression was introduced in 3b27ffb00fbe9d9189715ea13ce8712e2f0cb0c5
