Revert "batman-adv: prefer kfree_rcu() over call_rcu() with free-only callbacks"

This reverts commit 537db05da2ca8ccc1243c9dd1d0c148b84aa0432.

This change seems to result in a memory leak / RCU race and the following kernel splat when the batman-adv kernel module is unloaded:

So far, after some debugging, the actual cause for this could not immediately be found within the batman-adv code. Therefore reverting this for now until the underlying issue can be found and better understood.

Some additional debugging information and discussions can be found on our Redmine bugtracker, linked below.
