[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [RFC PATCH 5/6] batman-adv: restructure rebroadcast counter into forw_packet API

Linus Lüssing
2016-12-19T11:25:34Z

This patch refactors the num_packets counter of a forw_packet in the
following three ways:

1) Removed dual-use of forw_packet::num_packets:
-> now for aggregation purposes only
2) Using forw_packet::skb::cb::num_bcasts instead:
-> for easier access in aggregation code later
3) make access to num_bcasts private to batadv_forw_packet_*()
