[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH v4 17/31] batman-adv: Convert batadv_bla_claim 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.

v4:
 - fix function names in commit messages
 - fix double whitespace in batadv_tt_orig_list_entry_release kerneldoc
 - add extra patch for batadv_claim_free_ref kerneldoc fix
 - change the phrase "free it" in all *_free_ref/*_put functions to "release it"
v3:
 - update copyright year
v2:
 - split patchset into fixes and kref migration to make it easier when the
   decision is made where each patch will be applied
