batman-adv: bla: prevent CRC corruptions after claim flush

Browse source

When batadv_bla_del_backbone_claims() tried to remove all claims of a
backbone, it sets the CRC to 0. It assumes that the it had the last
reference of the claims because batadv_claim_release() (which runs after
the last reference was released), is XORing the crc16 of the claim address
with the backbone CRC.

If there would be a parallel holder of any of these references, it could
happen that the backbone CRC is (0 ^ crc16(delayed_released_claim)). Which
is the wrong starting point for the new claims it may receive when the
remote answers the claim request from batadv_bla_send_request().

This reinitializations can be completely dropped to avoid this problem.
batadv_claim_release() will take care of fixing the backbone CRC.
