Subject: [PATCH 1/6] batman-adv: accept delayed rebroadcasts to avoid bogus routing under heavy load

From: Daniele Furlan <daniele.furlan@...il.com>

When a link is saturated (re)broadcasts of OGMs are delayed. Under heavy
load this delay may exceed the orig interval which leads to OGMs being
dropped (the code would only accept an OGM rebroadcast if it arrived
before the next OGM was broadcasted). With this patch batman-adv will
also accept delayed OGMs in order to avoid a bogus influence on the
routing metric.
