batman-adv: Reduce refcnt of removed router when updating route

commit d1a65f1741bfd9c69f9e4e2ad447a89b6810427d upstream.

_batadv_update_route rcu_derefences orig_ifinfo->router outside of a
spinlock protected region to print some information messages to the debug
log. But this pointer is not checked again when the new pointer is assigned
in the spinlock protected region. Thus is can happen that the value of
orig_ifinfo->router changed in the meantime and thus the reference counter
of the wrong router gets reduced after the spinlock protected region.

Just rcu_dereferencing the value of orig_ifinfo->router inside the spinlock
protected region (which also set the new pointer) is enough to get the
correct old router object.
