batman-adv: Avoid endless loop in bat-on-bat netdevice check
batman-adv checks in different situation if a new device is already on top
of a different batman-adv device. This is done by getting the iflink of a
device and all its parent. It assumes that this iflink is always a parent
device in an acyclic graph. But this assumption is broken by devices like
veth which are actually a pair of two devices linked to each other. The
recursive check would therefore get veth0 when calling dev_get_iflink on
veth1. And it gets veth0 when calling dev_get_iflink with veth1.
Creating a veth pair and loading batman-adv freezes parts of the system
ip link add veth0 type veth peer name veth1
modprobe batman-adv
An RCU stall will be detected on the system which cannot be fixed.

This can be avoided by checking if two devices are each others parent and
stopping the check in this situation.
