I just applied the patch. I really tried hard to not breaking something
during the necessary changes in 9cdd7669dc0b, but FoE is hard to test,
since most slaves allow only firmware updating. Sorry for that.

9cdd7669dc0b introduced a new locking-free mechanism for datagram
injection. The datagram sent in the last cycle (fsm->datagram) can now
be different from the datagram to use in the next cycle (datagram),
because slave FSM datagrams are now maintained in a ring buffer.
