From: Linus Lüssing <linus.luess...@c0d3.blue> During broadcast queueing, the skb_reset_mac_header() sets the skb to a place invalid for a MAC header, pointing right into the batman-adv broadcast packet. Luckily, no one seems to actually use eth_hdr(skb) afterwards until batadv_send_skb_packet() resets the header to a valid position again.
Therefore removing this unnecessary, weird skb_reset_mac_header() call.
