this is a pull request intended for net-next/linux-3.17 (yeah..it's really late).

Patches 1, 2 and 4 are really minor changes:

• kmalloc_array is substituted to kmalloc when possible (as suggested by checkpatch);
• net_ratelimited() is now used properly and the "suppressed" message is not printed anymore if not needed;
• the internal version number has been increased to reflect our current version.

Patch 3 instead is introducing a change in the metric computation function by changing the penalty applied at each mesh hop from 15/255 (~6%) to 30/255 (~11%). This change is introduced by Simon Wunderlich after having observed a performance improvement in several networks when using the new value.

Pulled, thanks Antonio.
