batman-adv: Avoid recursive call_rcu for batadv_bla_claim
The batadv_claim_free_ref function uses call_rcu to delay the free of the
batadv_bla_claim object until no (already started) rcu_read_lock is enabled
anymore. This makes sure that no context is still trying to access the
object which should be removed. But batadv_bla_claim also contains a
reference to backbone_gw which must be removed.
The reference drop of backbone_gw was done in the call_rcu function
batadv_claim_free_rcu but should actually be done in the
batadv_claim_release function to avoid nested call_rcus. This is important
because rcu_barrier (e.g. batadv_softif_free or batadv_exit) will not
detect the inner call_rcu as relevant for its execution. Otherwise this
barrier will most likely be inserted in the queue before the callback of
the first call_rcu was executed. The caller of rcu_barrier will therefore
continue to run before the inner call_rcu callback finished.
