[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH v2 17/30] batman-adv: Convert batadv_nc_node to kref

[Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>]

batman-adv uses a self-written reference implementation which is just based
on atomic_t. This is less obvious when reading the code than kref and
therefore increases the change that the reference counting will be missed.

Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>

v2:
 - split patchset into fixes and kref migration to make it easier when the
   decision is made where each patch will be applied
