It can happen that a tt_req_node list entry was already removed from tt.req_list when batadv_send_tt_request reaches the end of the function. The reference counter was already reduced by 1 for the list entry and thus the reference counter is not allowed to be reduced again. Otherwise, the entry is freed too early and the next batadv_tt_req_node_put in this function will operate on freed memory.
