batman-adv: Fix use-after-free/double-free of tt_req_node
The tt_req_node is added and removed from a list inside a spinlock. But the
locking is sometimes removed even when the object is still referenced and
will be used later via this reference. For example batadv_send_tt_request
can create a new tt_req_node (including add to a list) and later
re-acquires the lock to remove it from the list and to free it. But at this
time another context could have already removed this tt_req_node from the
list and freed it.

MEMORY CORRUPTION/SEGFAULT/...

This can only be solved via reference counting to allow multiple contexts
to handle the list manipulation while making sure that only the last
context holding a reference will free the object.
