batman-adv: fix rare race conditions on interface removal
In rare cases during shutdown the following general protection fault can happen:

It does not happen often, but may potentially happen when frequently shutting down and reinitializing an interface. With some carefully placed msleep()s/mdelay()s it can be reproduced easily.
The issue is, that on interface removal, any still running worker thread of a forwarding packet will race with the interface purging routine to free a forwarding packet. Temporarily giving up a spin-lock to be able to sleep in the purging routine is not safe.
Furthermore, there is a potential general protection fault not just for the purging side shown above, but also on the worker side: Temporarily removing a forw_packet from the according forw_{bcast,bat}_list will make it impossible for the purging routine to catch and cancel it.
# How this patch tries to fix it:
With this patch we split the queue purging into three steps: Step 1), removing forward packets from the queue of an interface and by that claim it as our responsibility to free.
Step 2), we are either lucky to cancel a pending worker before it starts to run. Or if it is already running, we wait and let it do its thing, except two things:
Through the claiming in step 1) we prevent workers from a) re-arming themselves. And b) prevent workers from freeing packets which we still hold in the interface purging routine.
Finally, step 3, we are sure that no forwarding packets are pending or even running anymore on the interface to remove. We can then safely free the claimed forwarding packets.
