Subject: [PATCH 09/21] batman-adv: don't initialise batman_iv private members in hard-interface.c

From: Antonio Quartulli <antonio@...n-mesh.com>

hard-interface.c has to do not contain any routing algorithm
specific code.

Allocate the hard-interface with kzalloc() and remove any
useless and algorithm specific member initialisation
