Hello David,

these are two small fixes intended for your net tree.

Patch 1 prevents a lockdep splat from appearing along the
shutdown path due to a missing lock in mcast_free(), by Simon Wunderlich.

Patch 2 fixes a new feature introduced in 4.5 by ensuring that a
batadv_hardif_neigh_node object is free'd only when it is no
longer used in any context, by Sven Eckelmann.

Please pull or let me know of any issue.
Thanks a lot,
	Antonio
