The tc could return NET_XMIT_CN as one congestion notification, but
it does not mean the packet is lost. Other modules like ipvlan,
macvlan, and others treat NET_XMIT_CN as success too.

So batman-adv should add the NET_XMIT_CN check.

What I am asking is:
Are you sure adding NET_XMIT_CN handling everywhere is the right way to
resolve the inconsistency?
