22946b14b6 gluon-mesh-batman-adv-core: Switch from debugfs to batadv netlink
The batadv debugfs requires large memory blocks to write the text debug
tables. This is inefficient for large tables like the global translation
table or the originators table.

The memory requirement can be reduced by using netlink. It copies smaller
packets in a binary format to the userspace program. The respondd module of
gluon-mesh-batman-adv-core can therefore parse larger originator tables
without causing an OOM on systems which are tight on memory.
