batman-adv: Correct rcu refcounting for orig_node
It might be possible that 2 threads access the same data in the same rcu grace period. The first thread calls call_rcu() to decrement the refcount and free the data while the second thread increases the refcount to use the data. To avoid this race condition all refcount operations have to be atomic. Reported-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org> Signed-off-by: Marek Lindner <lindner_marek@yahoo.de>
