batman-adv: Use rcu_dereference_protected by update-side
Usually rcu_dereference isn't necessary in situations were the RCU-protected data structure cannot change, but sparse and lockdep still need a similar functionality for analysis. rcu_dereference_protected implements the reduced version which should be used to support the dynamic and static analysis.
