Subject: [PATCH 17/17] batman-adv: Reject unicast packet with zero/mcast dst address

From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@...fation.org>

An unicast batman-adv packet cannot be transmitted to a multicast or zero
mac address. So reject incoming packets which still have these classes of
addresses as destination mac address in the outer ethernet header.
