batman-adv: make broadcast seqno operations atomic

Browse source

Batman-adv could receive several payload broadcasts at the same time
that would trigger access to the broadcast seqno sliding window to
determine whether this is a new broadcast or not. If these incoming
broadcasts are accessing the sliding window simultaneously it could
be left in an inconsistent state. Therefore it is necessary to make
sure this access is atomic.
