batman-adv: Use rtnl link in device creation example 

The standard kernel API to add new virtual interfaces and attach other
interfaces to it is rtnl-link. batman-adv supports it since v3.10. This
functionality should be used instead of the legacy batman-adv-only sysfs
interface.

To activate a given interface simply write "bat0" into its

The batman-adv soft-interface can be created using the iproute2
tool "ip"

To activate a given interface simply attach it to the "bat0"
