batman-adv: Fix potential synchronization issues in mcast tvlv handler
So far the mcast tvlv handler did not anticipate the processing of multiple incoming OGMs from the same originator at the same time. This can lead to various issues: * Broken refcounting: For instance two mcast handlers might both assume that an originator just got multicast capabilities and will together wrongly decrease mcast.num_disabled by two, potentially leading to an integer underflow. * Potential kernel panic on hlist_del_rcu(): Two mcast handlers might one after another try to do an hlist_del_rcu(&orig->mcast_want_all_*_node). The second one will cause memory corruption / crashes. (Reported by: Sven Eckelmann <[email protected]>) Right in the beginning the code path makes assumptions about the current multicast related state of an originator and bases all updates on that. The easiest and least error prune way to fix the issues in this case is to serialize multiple mcast handler invocations with a spinlock.
