Staging: batman-adv: Don't remove interface with spinlock held
We call a lot of the netdevice code when holding if_list_lock which will
spin the whole time. This is not necessary because we only want to
protect the access to the list to be serialized. An extra queue can be
used which hold all interfaces which should be removed and then use that
queue without any locks for netdevice cleanup.
