batadv_tp_recv_ack() and batadv_tp_stop() are only valid for tp_vars in the
BATADV_TP_SENDER role. When called with a BATADV_TP_RECEIVER role, it
proceeds to read sender-only members that were never initialized, leading
to undefined behavior.

This can be triggered when a node that is currently acting as a receiver in
an ongoing tp_meter session receives a malicious ACK packet.

Guard against this by checking tp_vars->role immediately after the
lookup and bailing out if it is not BATADV_TP_SENDER, before any of
those members are accessed.
