[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCHv2 4/7] batman-adv: drop unicast packets from other backbone gw

[Andreas Pape <apape@phoenixcontact.com>]

Additional dropping of unicast packets received from another backbone gw of
the same backbone network before being forwarded to the same backbone again
is necessary. It was observed in a test setup that in rare cases these
frames lead to looping unicast traffic backbone->mesh->backbone.
