Subject: [PATCH 12/17] batman-adv: Use rcu_dereference_protected by update-side

Usually rcu_dereference isn't necessary in situations were the
RCU-protected data structure cannot change, but sparse and lockdep still
need a similar functionality for analysis. rcu_dereference_protected
implements the reduced version which should be used to support the
dynamic and static analysis.
