From: Antonio Quartulli antonio@open-mesh.com

A pointer to the orig_node representing a bat-gateway is stored in the gw_node->orig_node member, but the refcount for such orig_node is never increased. This leads to memory faults when gw_node->orig_node is accessed and the originator has already been freed.

Fix this by increasing the refcount on gw_node creation and decreasing it on gw_node free.

Change since v1: - properly release orig_node in case of gw_node allocation failure
