Staging: batman-adv: Introduce if_list_lock to protect if_list
The update critical sections of if_list must be protected by a locking
primitive other than RCU. The iterator must also be protected by the
chosen locking mechanism.
The rtnl_lock in hardif_remove_interfaces must also be moved outside the
iterator primitive to ensure that we don't deadlock the kernel due to
differently nested locks in hardif_remove_interfaces and hard_if_event.
