batman-adv: Remove unnecessary hardif_list_lock

hardif_list_lock is unneccessary because we already ensure that no
multiple admin operations can take place through rtnl_lock.
hardif_list_lock only adds additional overhead and complexity.

Critical functions now check whether they are called with rtnl_lock
using ASSERT_RTNL.

It indirectly fixes the problem that orig_hash_del_if() expects that
only one interface is deleted from hardif_list at a time, but
hardif_remove_interfaces() removes all at once and then calls
orig_hash_del_if().
