[PATCH 1/8] batman-adv: Return non-const ptr in batadv_getlink_net

From: Simon Wunderlich <sw@simonwunderlich.de>
Date: 2016-11-19 13:35:32
Also in: batman
Subsystem: batman advanced, the rest · Maintainers: Marek Lindner, Simon Wunderlich, Antonio Quartulli, Sven Eckelmann, Linus Torvalds

From: Sven Eckelmann <redacted>

The returned net_namespace of batadv_getlink_net may be used with functions
that potentially modify the struct. Thus it must return the pointer as
non-const like rtnl_link_ops::get_link_net does.
