batman-adv: prevent ELP transmission interval underflow

batadv_v_elp_start_timer() enqeues a delayed work. The time when it starts
is randomly chosen between (elp_interval - BATADV_JITTER) and
(elp_interval + BATADV_JITTER). The configured elp_interval must therefore
be larger or equal to BATADV_JITTER to avoid that it causes an underflow of
the unsigned integer. If this would happen, then a "fast" ELP interval
would turn into a "day long" delay.

At the same time, it must not be larger than the maximum value the variable
can store.
