Sven,

thanks for the thorough cleanup review.

I moved the patch to main (not strictly necessary as maint will be replaced 
soon) and merge my way up to master.

This (subtle) problem is about compat.h. Specifically, the kfree_rcu macro 
requires a pre-defined variable name:
#define kfree_rcu(ptr, rcu_head) call_rcu(&ptr->rcu_head, 
batadv_free_rcu_##ptr)

void batadv_free_rcu_softif_vlan(struct rcu_head *rcu);

Antonio, can you comment ? Was it forgotten or was there a reason ?

Cheers,
Marek
