batman-adv: prevent duplication of ARP replies when DAT is used
If none of the backbone gateways in a bla setup has already knowledge of
the mac address searched for in an incoming ARP request from the backbone
an address resolution via the DHT of DAT is started. The gateway can send
several ARP requests to different DHT nodes and therefore can get several
replies. This patch assures that not all of the possible ARP replies are
returned to the backbone by checking the local DAT cache of the gateway.
If there is an entry in the local cache the gateway has already learned
the requested address and there is no need to forward the additional reply
to the backbone.
Furthermore it is checked if this gateway has claimed the source of the ARP
reply and only forwards it to the backbone if it has claimed the source or
if there is no claim at all.
