Subject: [PATCH 04/16] batman-adv: don't use call_rcu if not needed

From: Antonio Quartulli <ordex@...istici.org>

batadv_tt_global_entry_free_ref uses call_rcu to schedule a
function which will only free the global entry itself.

For this reason call_rcu is useless and kfree_rcu can be
used to simplify the code.
