v5:
- add hack which allows to compile against stable kernel like 3.2.44 which
also added the kref_get_unless_zero function
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
