hardif_remove_interfaces() removes all hard interfaces from the hardif_list before freeing and cleaning up any device. However the clean up procedures in orig_hash_del_if() (hardif_remove_interface()->hardif_disable_interface()-> orig_hash_del_if()) need the other interfaces still to be present in the hardif_list. Otherwise it won't renumber any preceding interfaces, which leads to an unhandled kernel paging request in orig_node_del_if()'s "/* copy second part */" due to wrong hard_if->if_num's.

With this commit the interface removal on module shutdown will be down in the same way as removing single interfaces from batman only: One interface will be removed and cleaned at a time.

Hmm, though that does not seem to work for me like that anyway:

So looks like we may not hold a spin_lock() during the hardif_remove_interface(). Of course, that issue is not present with your next patch anymore. Thanks for good intention to keep my fame++, but, hmm, maybe it actually only makes sense to have the two patches merged.

Splitted the first patch to keep Linus' fame. There should be no difference (after all patches are applied) between the first and the second version.
