The mesh interface can fragment unicast packets when the packet size
exceeds the outgoing slave/hard-interface MTU.
The BATADV_CMD_SET_MESH/BATADV_CMD_GET_MESH commands allow to set/get the
configuration of this feature using the BATADV_ATTR_FRAGMENTATION
attribute. Setting the u8 to zero will disable this feature and setting it
to something else is enabling this feature.
