[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCHv3] batman-adv: use eth_hdr() instead of skb->data in interface_tx path

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

Using eth_hdr() instead of skb->data avoids some ugly type casts.

I wasn't able to reproduce the skb ether header pointer mismatch
mentioned in batadv_bla_tx() on a 3.11 kernel with a vlan on top of
bat0 and therefore removed the according skb_reset_mac_header()
call, too. In fact, it looks like it became obsolete with the following
commit, included since 3.9:

"net: reset mac header in dev_start_xmit()" (6d1ccff627)

Signed-off-by: Linus Lüssing <linus.luessing@web.de>

This unfortunately didn't work:
#define BATADV_SET_ETHTOOL_OPS(netdev, ops) SET_ETHTOOL_OPS(netdev, ops)

If anyone has an idea how to achieve that, just let me know.
So had to do a copy and paste of that dusty macro.


Changes for v3: removed skb_reset_mac_header() entirely in the general code,
but added it again for kernels < 3.9 via compat.h
