Subject: pull request: batman-adv 2013-01-27

This is a small patchset intended for net/linux-3.8.
Here there are three small patches from Matthias Schiffer aimed to fix some
memory problems in the recently introduced D.A.T. component. One of them is
fixing an skb memleak, one is fixing the ARP filter routine by preventing DAT to
parse not useful messages (so reducing the amount of memory used by the local
cache) and one fixing again the ARP filter routine by preventing DAT to
overwrite correct entries with bogus ones in the local cache.

Please pull or let me know if there is any problem.

Thanks a lot,
	Antonio
