Subject: [PATCH 2/2] batman-adv: mcast: fix multicast tt/tvlv worker locking

From: Linus Lüssing <linus.luessing@...3.blue>

Syzbot has reported some issues with the locking assumptions made for
the multicast tt/tvlv worker: It was able to trigger the WARN_ON() in
batadv_mcast_mla_tt_retract() and batadv_mcast_mla_tt_add().
While hard/not reproduceable for us so far it seems that the
delayed_work_pending() we use might not be quite safe from reordering.

Therefore this patch adds an explicit, new spinlock to protect the
update of the mla_list and flags in bat_priv and then removes the
WARN_ON(delayed_work_pending()).
