[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH maint 1/2] batman-adv: fix TT CRC computation by ensuring byte order

[Antonio Quartulli]

From: Antonio Quartulli <antonio@open-mesh.com>

When computing the CRC on a 2byte variable the order of
the bytes obviously alters the final result. This means
that computing the CRC over the same value on two archs
having different endianess leads to different numbers.

The global and local translation table CRC computation
routine makes this mistake while processing the clients
VIDs. The result is a continuous CRC mismatching between
nodes having different endianess.

Fix this by converting the VID to Network Order before
processing it. This guarantees that every node uses the same
byte order.

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH maint 2/2] batman-adv: free skb on TVLV parsing success

[Antonio Quartulli]

From: Antonio Quartulli <antonio@open-mesh.com>

When the TVLV parsing routine succeed the skb is left
untouched thus leading to a memory leak.

Fix this by consuming the skb in case of success.
