[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH 13/21] batman-adv: Convert batadv_tvlv_handler to kref

[Antonio Quartulli <a@unstable.cc>]

From: 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.
