Re: [B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCHv6 1/2] batman-adv: use vlan_/eth_hdr() instead of skb->data in interface_tx path

Our .ndo_start_xmit handler (batadv_interface_tx()) can rely on having the skb mac header pointer set correctly since the following commit present in kernels >= 3.9:

"net: reset mac header in dev_start_xmit()" (6d1ccff627)

Therefore we can safely use eth_hdr() and vlan_eth_hdr() instead of skb->data now, which spares us some ugly type casts.
