+Subject: batman-adv: fix duplicate MAC address check
+
+batadv_check_known_mac_addr() is both too lenient and too strict:
+
+- It is called from batadv_hardif_add_interface(), which means that it
+  checked interfaces that are not used for batman-adv at all. Move it
+  to batadv_hardif_enable_interface(). Also, restrict it to hardifs of
+  the same mesh interface; different mesh interfaces should not interact
+  at all. The batadv_check_known_mac_addr() argument is changed from
+  `struct net_device` to `struct batadv_hard_iface` to achieve this.
+- The check only cares about hardifs in BATADV_IF_ACTIVE and
+  BATADV_IF_TO_BE_ACTIVATED states, but interfaces in BATADV_IF_INACTIVE
+  state should be checked as well, or the following steps will not
+  result in a warning then they should:
+
+  - Add two interfaces in down state with different MAC addresses to
+    a mesh as hardifs
+  - Change the MAC addresses so they conflict
+  - Set interfaces to up state
+
+  Now there will be two active hardifs with the same MAC address, but no
+  warning. Fix by only ignoring hardifs in BATADV_IF_NOT_IN_USE state.
+
+The RCU lock can be dropped, as we're holding RTNL anyways when the
+function is called.
+
+Fixes: c7560658b16b ("[batman-adv] print a warning when an existing mac address is added again")
