Sven Eckelmann f4156f9656 batman-adv: Use explicit tvlv padding for ELP packets
The announcement messages of batman-adv COMPAT_VERSION 15 have the
possibility to announce additional information via a dynamic TVLV part.
This part is optional for the ELP packets and currently not parsed by the
Linux implementation. Still out-of-tree versions are using it to transport
things like neighbor hashes to optimize the rebroadcast behavior.

Since the ELP broadcast packets are smaller than the minimal ethernet
packet, it often has to be padded. This is often done (as specified in
RFC894) with octets of zero and thus work perfectly fine with the TVLV
part (making it a zero length and thus empty). But not all ethernet
compatible hardware seems to follow this advice. To avoid ambiguous
situations when parsing the TVLV header, just force the 4 bytes (TVLV
length + padding) after the required ELP header to zero.
