The commit 8c46fcd78308 ("batman-adv: disable ethtool link speed detection
when auto negotiation off") disabled the usage of ethtool's link_ksetting
when auto negotation was enabled due to invalid values when used with
tun/tap virtual net_devices. According to the patch, automatic measurements
should be used for these kind of interfaces.

But there are major flaws with this argumentation:

* automatic measurements are not implemented
* auto negotiation has nothing to do with the validity of the retrieved
  values

The first point has to be fixed by a longer patch series. The "validity"
part of the second point must be addressed in the same patch series by
dropping the usage of ethtool's link_ksetting (thus always doing automatic
measurements over ethernet).

Drop the patch again to have more default values for various net_device
types/configurations. The user can still overwrite them using the
batadv_hardif's BATADV_ATTR_THROUGHPUT_OVERRIDE.

From: Antonio Quartulli <redacted>

In commit a63fc6b75cca ("rcu: Upgrade rcu_swap_protected() to
rcu_replace_pointer()") a new helper macro named rcu_replace_pointer() was
introduced to simplify code requiring to switch an rcu pointer to a new
value while extracting the old one.

Use rcu_replace_pointer() where appropriate to make code slimer.

From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>

The commit 1a33e10e4a95 ("net: partially revert dynamic lockdep key
changes") reverts the commit ab92d68fc22f ("net: core: add generic lockdep
keys"). But it forgot to also revert the commit 5759af0682b3 ("batman-adv:
Drop lockdep.h include for soft-interface.c") which depends on the latter.
