batman-adv: ignore netdev_set_master() calls on kernels older than 2.6.39

batman-adv calls netdev_master_upper_dev_link() which is replaced with with netdev_set_master() for kernels older than 3.9 via compat.h. Prior to 2.6.39 netdev_set_master() contained Linux bonding calls needed to setup bonding devices. Calling this function from batman-adv leads to unexpected behavior when current batman-adv versions are used on these older kernels.

To fix the situation compat.h now ships its own implementation of netdev_set_master() which does not change the net_dev->master state on kernels older than 2.6.39.
