batman-adv: Add module alias for batadv netlink family
The batman-adv module has to be loaded to fulfill genl request by the userspace. When it is not loaded then requests will fail. It is therefore useful to get the module automatically loaded when such a request is made. Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org> Signed-off-by: Simon Wunderlich <sw@simonwunderlich.de>
