Staging: batman-adv: wait for call_rcu before unloading module

Browse source

synchronize_rcu respective synchronize_net only waits for the rcu grace
period to elapse and we may fail to finish the calls which were made to
call_rcu in that time. In result the module could be unloaded during the
execution of the RCU callbacks.

rcu_barrier[1] will now wait for all outstanding RCU callbacks to finish
before continuing.
