Documentation/CodingStyle recommends to use the form
p = kmalloc(sizeof(*p), ...);
to calculate the size of a struct and not the version where the struct
name is spelled out to prevent bugs when the type of p changes. This
also seems appropriate for manipulation of buffers when they are
directly associated with p.

The rcu protected macros rcu_dereference() and rcu_assign_pointer()
for the bat_priv->primary_if need to be used, as well as spin/rcu locking.
Otherwise we might end up using a primary_if pointer pointing to already
freed memory.

The rcu protected macros rcu_dereference() and rcu_assign_pointer()
for the orig_node->router need to be used, as well as spin/rcu locking.
Otherwise we might end up using a router pointer pointing to already
freed memory.
Therefore this commit introduces the safe getter method
orig_node_get_router().

It might be possible that 2 threads access the same data in the same
rcu grace period. The first thread calls call_rcu() to decrement the
refcount and free the data while the second thread increases the
refcount to use the data. To avoid this race condition all refcount
operations have to be atomic.

types.h is included by main.h, which is included at the beginning of any
other c-file anyway. Therefore this commit removes those duplicate
inclussions.

B.A.T.M.A.N. (better approach to mobile ad-hoc networking) is a routing
protocol for multi-hop ad-hoc mesh networks. The networks may be wired or
wireless. See http://www.open-mesh.org/ for more information and user space
