commit 53cf037bf846417fd92dc92ddf97267f69b110f4 upstream.
The two commits noted below added calls to ip_hdr() and ipv6_hdr(). They
need a correctly set skb network header.
Unfortunately we cannot rely on the device drivers to set it for us.
Therefore setting it in the beginning of the according ndo_start_xmit
handler.
Fixes: 1d8ab8d3c176 ("batman-adv: Modified forwarding behaviour for multicast packets")
Fixes: ab49886e3da7 ("batman-adv: Add IPv4 link-local/IPv6-ll-all-nodes multicast support")
