batman-adv: deselect current GW on client mode switch off
When switching from gw_mode client to either off or server the current selected gateway has to be deselected. In this way when client mode is enabled again a gateway re-election is forced and a GW_ADD event is consequently sent. The current behaviour instead is to keep the current gateway leading to no GW_ADD event when gw_mode client is selected for a second time Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli <antonio@open-mesh.com> Signed-off-by: Marek Lindner <mareklindner@neomailbox.ch> Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli <antonio@meshcoding.com>
