batman-adv: Remove unnecessary hardif_list_lock
hardif_list_lock is unneccessary because we already ensure that no multiple admin operations can take place through rtnl_lock. hardif_list_lock only adds additional overhead and complexity. Critical functions now check whether they are called with rtnl_lock using ASSERT_RTNL. It indirectly fixes the problem that orig_hash_del_if() expects that only one interface is deleted from hardif_list at a time, but hardif_remove_interfaces() removes all at once and then calls orig_hash_del_if().
