batman-adv: mcast: validate tracker padding before forwarding
A multicast tracker with an even number of destinations needs two padding bytes after its destination list. batadv_mcast_forw_packet() currently only checks that the count field and the addresses fit in the tracker TVLV. If an unpadded even tracker is compacted to an odd number of destinations, batadv_mcast_forw_shrink_update_headers() includes those missing padding bytes in the amount to remove. The subsequent memmove can then write two bytes past the old packet tail. With no tailroom, this corrupts skb_shared_info. Include the required padding in the existing tracker length check. This rejects the malformed tracker before either received or locally generated packets can reach the compactor.
