Subject: pull request [net]: batman-adv fixes 20150805

Hello David,

here you have our patchset for net/linux-4.2 which contains only patches
that we think to be important (meaning they fix critical
crashes/misbehaviours actually reported by some users).

Patch 1 (by me) is preventing DAT from injecting replies received from the
mesh into the LAN which would confuse a L2 bridge.

Patch 2 introduces several NULL checks in order to prevent spurious
kernel crashes due to NULL pointer deferences, by Marek Lindnder.

Patches 3, still by Marek, prevent accidental double deletions
of tt_local_entry objects from their own lists which would lead to a
kernel crash.

Patch 4 by Simon Wunderlich fixes a memory leak which is triggered by
the missing initialization of the bandwidth_up/down fields of the bat-GW
struct.

If possible, I'd recommend to consider all these patches for inclusion
in the stable releases.

Please pull or let me know if anything else is wrong!

Thanks a lot David,
	Antonio
