batman-adv: use kmem_cache for translation table
The translation table (global, local) is usually the part of batman-adv which has the most dynamical allocated objects. Most of them (tt_local_entry, tt_global_entry, tt_orig_list_entry, tt_change_node, tt_req_node, tt_roam_node) are equally sized. So it makes sense to have them allocated from a kmem_cache for each type. This approach allowed a small wireless router (TP-Link TL-841NDv8; SLUB allocator) to store 34% more translation table entries compared to the current implementation.
