From: Antonio Quartulli antonio@open-mesh.com
When switching from gw_mode client to either off or server the current selected gateway has to be deselected. In this way when client mode is enabled again a gateway re-election is forced and a GW_ADD event is consequently sent.
The current behaviour instead is to keep the current gateway leading to no GW_ADD event when gw_mode client is selected for a second time

Changes from v1: * Introduce patch 2 to rename batadv_gw_deselect() * add big fat comment in 1/2 that explain why invoking batadv_gw_deselect() is not enough to really deselect the current GW
