Subject: batman-adv: Fix TT global entry leak when client roamed back
From: Remi Pommarel <repk@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit d25ddb7e788d34cf27ff1738d11a87cb4b67d446 upstream.
When a client roamed back to a node before it got time to destroy the
pending local entry (i.e. within the same originator interval) the old
global one is directly removed from hash table and left as such.
But because this entry had an extra reference taken at lookup (i.e using
batadv_tt_global_hash_find) there is no way its memory will be reclaimed
at any time causing the following memory leak:
unreferenced object 0xffff0000073c8000 (size 18560):

Releasing the extra reference from batadv_tt_global_hash_find even at
roam back when batadv_tt_global_free is called fixes this memory leak.
