The commit fixes a race condition in the initialization portion of the
driver. The problem was observed while testing with the kernel in the
staging-next tree. The wait on the ready event is signalled prematurely
before setting the arVersion.wlan_ver and arVersion.abi_ver. The code
waiting on this semaphore checks for the validity of these values and
hence may proceed with an un-updated values of these fields. The wakeup
signal is now sent after these values are set.

The commit fixes a compilation error that was encountered while using
a specific kernel configuration file. The problem was the use of some
functions defined in <linux/semaphore.h> without including the header
file explicitly. It was probably working before because of the
dependency getting implicitly satisfied via some other header file.

The return of get_batman_if_by_netdev and get_active_batman_if leaks a
pointer from the rcu protected list of interfaces. We must protect it to
prevent a too early release of the memory. Those functions must increase
the reference counter before rcu_read_unlock or it may be to late to
prevent a free.

hardif_add_interface must also increase the reference count for the
returned batman_if to make the behaviour consistent.

get_batman_if_by_netdev and get_active_batman_if may leak data from the
rcu protected list of interfaces. The rcu protected list of all gateway
nodes leaks the actual data outside the read-side critical area. This is
not valid as we may free the data using a call_rcu created callback
after we unlock using rcu_read_unlock. A workaround is to provide a
reference count to be sure that the memory isn't freed to early.

It is currently only to implement the already existing functionality and
doesn't provide the full tracking of all usage cases.

Additionally, we must hardif_hold inside the
rcu_read_lock()..rcu_read_unlock() before we attach to the structure
which "leaks" it. When another function now removed it from its usage
context (primary_if, usage on stack, ...) then we must hardif_put it. If
it is decremented to zero then we can issue the call_rcu to the freeing
function. So "put" is not allowed inside an rcu_read_lock.

It is recommended [1] to use synchronize_rcu to simplify the code -
especially when otherwise extra locking is needed to protect other code
from picking stale elements. It also protects us for emitting to many
callbacks which may results in OOM conditions.

The only reason not to use it, would be in performance critical sections
or when we are not allowed to block.

Regions which do not use rcu functions don't need to protected by
rcu_read_lock. If we want to protect data from being freed than it must
be covered by the same read-side critical section or otherwise the grace
period may already ended and freed the memory before we called
rcu_read_lock again.

The update critical sections of if_list must be protected by a locking
primitive other than RCU. The iterator must also be protected by the
chosen locking mechanism.

The rtnl_lock in hardif_remove_interfaces must also be moved outside the
iterator primitive to ensure that we don't deadlock the kernel due to
differently nested locks in hardif_remove_interfaces and hard_if_event.

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.
