Subject: [PATCH 2/2] batman-adv: correctly set the data field in the TT_REPONSE packet

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

In the TT_RESPONSE packet, the number of carried entries is not correctly set.
This leads to a wrong interpretation of the packet payload on the receiver side
causing random entries to be added to the global translation table. Therefore
the latter gets always corrupted, triggering a table recovery all the time.
