Subject: [PATCH 4/5] batman-adv: Avoid relation operator comparison with bool

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

commit 785ea1144182 ("batman-adv: Distributed ARP Table - create DHT helper
functions") introduced a return check of batadv_compare_eth which uses a
boolean return value since commit 16af73458aca ("batman-adv: main,
batadv_compare_eth return bool"). A relational (<, >, <= or >=) operator
is not the right one for such a check.
