batman-adv: Make orig_node->router an rcu protected pointer
The rcu protected macros rcu_dereference() and rcu_assign_pointer()
for the orig_node->router need to be used, as well as spin/rcu locking.
Otherwise we might end up using a router pointer pointing to already
freed memory.
Therefore this commit introduces the safe getter method
orig_node_get_router().
