Subject: [PATCH 1/1] batman-adv: Avoid WARN_ON timing related checks

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

The soft/batadv interface for a queued OGM can be changed during the time
the OGM was queued for transmission and when the OGM is actually
transmitted by the worker.

But WARN_ON must be used to denote kernel bugs and not to print simple
warnings. A warning can simply be printed using pr_warn.
