batman-adv: fix potential kernel paging errors for unicast transmissions

There are several functions which might reallocate skb data. Currently
some places keep reusing their old ethhdr pointer regardless of whether
they became invalid after such a reallocation or not. This potentially
leads to kernel paging errors.

This patch fixes these by refetching the ethdr pointer after the
potential reallocations.

batman-adv: Prefix gateway-client non-static functions with batadv_

batman-adv can be compiled as part of the kernel instead of an module. In that
case the linker will see all non-static symbols of batman-adv and all other
non-static symbols of the kernel. This could lead to symbol collisions. A
prefix for the batman-adv symbols that defines their private namespace avoids
such a problem.

batman-adv: Use includes instead of fwdecls

While it can be slightly beneficial for the build performance to use
forward declarations instead of includes, the handling of them together
with changes in the included headers makes it unnecessary complicated and
fragile. Just replace them with actual includes since some parts (hwmon,
..) of the kernel even request avoidance of forward declarations and net/
is mostly not using them in *.c file.

batman-adv: Add SPDX license identifier above copyright header

The "Linux kernel licensing rules" require that each file has a SPDX
license identifier as first line (and sometimes as second line).

The FSFE REUSE practices [1] would also require the same tags but have no
restrictions on the placement in the source file. Using the "Linux kernel
licensing rules" is therefore also fulfilling the FSFE REUSE practices
requirements at the same time.
