[PATCH batadv v2 4/5] batman-adv: bla: reacquire gw address after skb realloc

Message-ID <[email protected]>
The pskb_may_pull() called by batadv_bla_is_backbone_gw() could reallocate
the buffer behind the skb. Variables which were pointing to the old buffer
need to be reassigned to avoid an use-after-free.

Fixes: bfe2a1971f43 ("batman-adv: drop unicast packets from other backbone gw")
