batman-adv: Remove hdr_size skb size check in batadv_interface_rx

The callers of batadv_interface_rx have to make sure that enough data can be pulled from the skb when they read the batman-adv header. The only two functions using it are either calling pskb_may_pull with hdr_size directly (batadv_recv_bcast_packet) or indirectly via batadv_check_unicast_packet (batadv_recv_unicast_packet).
