I had tried the nf_reset()s and Wang's patch but with no success.

Skimming through the code I noticed that there aren't that many
opportunities for the hnnode to become zero. There are several
hlist_nulls_del_rcu(), but no hlist_nulls_del_init_rcu()s for
instance.

That started to make me wonder whether something from "outside"
might be setting the hnnode to zero - and yeah...

I missed that batadv_send_skb_unicast() always frees/consumes the
skb... and I was freeing the skb myself if that call returned
!NET_XMIT_SUCCESS. So a double kfree_skb()... I'm a bit surprised
that things did not crash more often...

Sorry for the noise :-(. But thanks for all the help and quick
responses!
