batman-adv: mcast: shorten multicast tt/tvlv worker spinlock section
It is not necessary to hold the mla_lock spinlock during the whole multicast tt/tvlv worker callback. Just holding it during the checks and updates of the bat_priv stored multicast flags and mla_list is enough. Therefore this patch splits batadv_mcast_mla_tvlv_update() in two: batadv_mcast_mla_flags_get() at the beginning of the worker to gather and calculate the new multicast flags, which does not need any locking as it neither reads from nor writes to bat_priv->mcast. And batadv_mcast_mla_flags_update() at the end of the worker which commits the newly calculated flags and lists to bat_priv->mcast and therefore needs the lock.
