With rcu, the gateway node deleted attribute is not needed anymore. In
fact, it may delay the free of the gateway node and its referenced
structures. Therefore remove it altogether and simplify purging as well.

<title>batman-adv: Annotate deleting functions with external lock via lockdep</title>

Functions which use (h)list_del* are requiring correct locking when they
operate on global lists. Most of the time the search in the list and the
delete are done in the same function. All other cases should have it
visible that they require a special lock to avoid race conditions.

Lockdep asserts can be used to check these problem during runtime when the
lockdep functionality is enabled.

(s|u)(8|16|32|64) are the preferred types in the kernel. The use of the
standard C99 types u?int(8|16|32|64)_t are objected by some people and even
checkpatch now warns about using them.

<title>batman-adv: Add required includes to all files</title>

The header files could not be build indepdent from each other. This is
happened because headers didn't include the files for things they've used.
This was problematic because the success of a build depended on the
knowledge about the right order of local includes.

Also source files were not including everything they've used explicitly.
Instead they required that transitive includes are always stable. This is
problematic because some transitive includes are not obvious, depend on
config settings and may not be stable in the future.

The order for include blocks are:

 * primary headers (main.h and the *.h file of a *.c file)
 * global linux headers
 * required local headers
 * extra forward declarations for pointers in function/struct declarations

The only exceptions are linux/bitops.h and linux/if_ether.h in packet.h.
This header file is shared with userspace applications like batctl and must
therefore build together with userspace applications. The header
linux/bitops.h is not part of the uapi headers and linux/if_ether.h
conflicts with the musl implementation of netinet/if_ether.h. The
maintainers rejected the use of __KERNEL__ preprocessor checks and thus
these two headers are only in main.h. All files using packet.h first have
to include main.h to work correctly.
