batman-adv: Fix broadcast packet CRC calculation
commit 7f112af40fecf5399b61e69ffc6b55a9d82789f7 upstream. So far the crc16 checksum for a batman-adv broadcast data packet, received on a batman-adv hard interface, was calculated over zero bytes of its content leading to many incoming broadcast data packets wrongly being dropped (60-80% packet loss). This patch fixes this issue by calculating the crc16 over the actual, complete broadcast payload. The issue is a regression introduced by ("batman-adv: add broadcast duplicate check").
