batman-adv: Add wrapper to look up neighbor and send skb
By adding batadv_send_skb_to_orig() in send.c, we can remove duplicate code that looks up the next hop and then calls batadv_send_skb_packet(). Furthermore, this prepares the upcoming new implementation of fragmentation, which requires the next hop to route packets. Please note that this doesn't entirely remove the next-hop lookup in routing.c and unicast.c, since it is used by the current fragmentation code. Also note that the next-hop info is removed from debug messages in translation-table.c, since it is looked up elsewhere.
