Our .ndo_start_xmit handler (batadv_interface_tx()) can rely on having the skb ether 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() instead of skb->data now, which spares us some ugly type casts.
