The orig_hash_lock locks big sections of the batman-adv code base, which
might lead to unneccesary performance degradation at some points. 

Therefore this patch moves the locking from the whole originator hash
table to individual orig nodes, introducing a reference count based
system to identify whether a node is still in use or can be free()d.

To summarize the changes:
 * when iterating, the hash is only locked while an item is picked
   from the hash. Access to the orig_nodes themselves is no longer 
   protected by orig_hash_lock.
 * Each orig_node is referenced when it is used or referenced (e.g. as
   neighbor), and freed when there are no references left. This makes
   it neccesary to carefully reference and unreference nodes.
 * orig_nodes receive an individual spin lock to protect access to
   their data.

I did some testing, including loading, unloading, killing individual
nodes etc, which seems to be clean so far. However there might be 
more race conditions introduced by this large patch, and i'm therefore
requesting a careful review before committing.
