Subject: [PATCH 3/4] batman-adv: keep global table consistency in case of roaming

From: Antonio Quartulli <ordex@...istici.org>

To keep consistency of other originator tables, new clients detected as
roamed, are kept in the global table but are marked as TT_CLIENT_PENDING
They are purged only when the new ttvn is received by the corresponding
originator. Moreover they need to be considered as removed in case of global
transtable lookup.
