Subject: [PATCH 3/3] batman-adv: filter ARP packets with invalid MAC addresses in DAT

From: Matthias Schiffer <mschiffer@...verse-factory.net>

We never want multicast MAC addresses in the Distributed ARP Table, so it's
best to completely ignore ARP packets containing them where we expect unicast
addresses.
