batadv_forw_packet_list_free can be called when an interface is being
disabled. Under this circumstance, the rntl_lock will be held and while it
calls cancel_delayed_work_sync.

cancel_delayed_work_sync will stop the execution of the current context
when the work item is currently processed. It can now happen that the
cancel_delayed_work_sync was called when rtnl_lock was already called in
batadv_iv_send_outstanding_bat_ogm_packet or when it was in the process of
calling it. In this case, batadv_iv_send_outstanding_bat_ogm_packet waits
for the lock and cancel_delayed_work_sync (which holds the rtnl_lock) is
waiting for batadv_iv_send_outstanding_bat_ogm_packet to finish.

This can only be avoided by not using (conflicting) blocking locks while
cancel_delayed_work_sync is called. It also has the benefit that the
ogm scheduling functionality can avoid unnecessary delays which can be
introduced by a global lock.

buffer")
