batman-adv: tvlv: prepare for tvlv enabled multicast packet type

Prepare TVLV infrastructure for more packet types, in particular the
upcoming batman-adv multicast packet type.

For that swap the OGM vs. unicast-tvlv packet boolean indicator to an
explicit unsigned integer packet type variable. And provide the skb
to a call to batadv_tvlv_containers_process(), as later the multicast
packet's TVLV handler will need to have access not only to the TVLV but
the full skb for forwarding. Forwarding will be invoked from the
multicast packet's TVLVs' contents later.

batman-adv: Check ptr for NULL before reducing its refcnt

The commit b37a46683739 ("netdevice: add the case if dev is NULL") changed
the way how the NULL check for net_devices have to be handled when trying
to reduce its reference counter. Before this commit, it was the
responsibility of the caller to check whether the object is NULL or not.
But it was changed to behave more like kfree. Now the callee has to handle
the NULL-case.

The batman-adv code was scanned via cocinelle for similar places. These
were changed to use the paradigm

@@
identifier E, T, R, C;
identifier put;
@@
void put(struct T *E)
{
+ if (!E)
+ return;
kref_put(&E->C, R);
}

Functions which were used in other sources files were moved to the header
to allow the compiler to inline the NULL check and the kref_put call.

batman-adv: Drop publication years from copyright info

The batman-adv source code was using the year of publication (to net-next)
as "last" year for the copyright statement. The whole source code mentioned
in the MAINTAINERS "BATMAN ADVANCED" section was handled as a single entity
regarding the publishing year.

This avoided having outdated (in sense of year information - not copyright
holder) publishing information inside several files. But since the simple
"update copyright year" commit (without other changes) in the file was not
well received in the upstream kernel, the option to not have a copyright
year (for initial and last publication) in the files are chosen instead.
More detailed information about the years can still be retrieved from the
SCM system.

batman-adv: Prevent duplicated tvlv handler

The function batadv_tvlv_handler_register is responsible for adding new
tvlv_handler to the handler_list. It first checks whether the entry
already is in the list or not. If it is, then the creation of a new entry
is aborted.

But the lock for the list is only held when the list is really modified.
This could lead to duplicated entries because another context could create
an entry with the same key between the check and the list manipulation.

The check and the manipulation of the list must therefore be in the same
locked code section.

batman-adv: Convert packet.h to uapi header

The header file is used by different userspace programs to inject packets
or to decode sniffed packets. It should therefore be available to them as
userspace header.

Also other components in the kernel (like the flow dissector) require
access to the packet definitions to be able to decode ETH_P_BATMAN ethernet
packets.

name. Using this format allows to use a consistent style when adding
documentation to a function and when referencing this function in a

batman-adv: Add SPDX license identifier above copyright header

The "Linux kernel licensing rules" require that each file has a SPDX
license identifier as first line (and sometimes as second line).

The FSFE REUSE practices [1] would also require the same tags but have no
restrictions on the placement in the source file. Using the "Linux kernel
licensing rules" is therefore also fulfilling the FSFE REUSE practices
requirements at the same time.

It is hard to understand why the refcnt is increased when it isn't done
near the actual place the new reference is used. So using kref_get right
before the place which requires the reference and in the same function
helps to avoid accidental problems caused by incorrect reference counting.

batman-adv: split tvlv into a separate file

The tvlv functionality in main.c is mostly unrelated to the rest of the
content. It still takes up a large portion of this source file (~45%, 588
lines). Moving it to a separate file makes it better visible as a main
component of the batman-adv implementation and hides it less in the other
helper functions in main.c
