  batman-adv: fix rare race conditions on interface removal (2016-11-08 19:02:39 +0100)

----------------------------------------------------------------
This feature patchset includes the following changes:

 - 6 patches adding functionality to detect a WiFi interface under
   other virtual interfaces, like VLANs. They introduce a cache for
   the detected the WiFi configuration to avoid RTNL locking in
   critical sections. Patches have been prepared by Marek Lindner
   and Sven Eckelmann

 - Enable automatic module loading for genl requests, by Sven Eckelmann

 - Fix a potential race condition on interface removal. This is not
   happening very often in practice, but requires bigger changes to fix,
   so we are sending this to net-next. By Linus Luessing
