Subject: [PATCH 2/2] batman-adv: check return type of unicast packet preparations

From: Linus Lüssing <linus.luessing@....de>

batadv_unicast(_4addr)_prepare_skb  might reallocate the skb's data.
And if it tries to do so then this can potentially fail.

We shouldn't continue working on this skb in such a case.
