Subject: [PATCH 2/2] batman-adv: compare_eth() should take const pointer
 arguments

compare_eth() should take const pointer arguments so that it can be passed
const pointers without the need for a cast, leading to:

net/batman-adv/vis.c: In function 'vis_data_insert_interface':
net/batman-adv/vis.c:146: warning: passing argument 2 of 'compare_eth' discards qualifiers from pointer target type
