[Antonio Quartulli <a@unstable.cc>]

Hello David,

I know it is extremely late in the release cycle, but please accept this
single (and small) change intended for net.

This bug-fix provided by Sven Eckelmann prevents a wrong memory access
in setups with multiple interfaces enslaved in batman-adv (very common
nowadays).

When such bad access is performed the code ends up filling with random
data an internal data structure used to compute the links metric, thus
leading to undefined behaviours.


This bug is there since ever, therefore it would be really nice if could
get it queued for inclusion in stable.


Please pull or let me know of any problem!
Thanks a lot,
	Antonio
