[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCHv3 next] batman-adv: fix potential kernel paging errors for unicast transmissions

["Linus Lüssing" <linus.luessing@web.de>]

There are several functions which might reallocate skb data. Currently
some places keep reusing their old ethhdr pointer regardless of whether
they became invalid after such a reallocation or not. This potentially
leads to kernel paging errors.

This patch fixes these by refetching the ethdr pointer after the
potential reallocations.

v3:
* Remove the change from 'Returns' to 'Return
* Avoid using eth_hdr(skb), using (struct ethhdr *)skb->data instead
* Added fix for batadv_gw_is_dhcp_target() too
