batman-adv: tvlv: enforce 2-byte alignment

The fields of an aggregated OGM(v2) are accessed assuming (at least) 2-byte
alignment, so a following OGM must start at an even offset. As the header
length is even, an odd tvlv_len would misalign it and trigger unaligned
accesses on strict-alignment architectures.

Such a misaligned TVLV/OGM/OGMv2 is not created by a normal participant in
the mesh. Therefore, reject such malformed packets.
