Hey Andrew,

all list-adds and list-removes do a kref_get or kref_put respectively,
but that probably was not very clear. As soon as a refence is created 
(by linking into the hash or a list), we should also kref_get() it.

Please find attached a new version of this patch with separate 
send_list_add/remove functions which include the put/get functions. 
I've also added the kref_put/get call to the send_list loop again.
It should look more balanced now. Tested in my 9 qemu setup again,
no memory leaks or crashes but i only did a very quick test 
(15 minutes)

best regards,
        Simon

taging: batman-adv: Don't have interrupts disabled while sending.

send_vis_packets() would disable interrupts before calling
dev_queue_xmit() which resulting in a backtrace in local_bh_enable().
Fix this by using kref on the vis_info object so that we can call
send_vis_packets() without holding vis_hash_lock. vis_hash_lock also
used to protect recv_list, so we now need a new lock to protect that
instead of vis_hash_lock.

Also a few checkpatch cleanups.
