PATCH v2 1/1 batman-adv: increase orig refcount when storing ref in gw_node

From: Antonio Quartulli <[email protected]>

A pointer to the orig_node representing a bat-gateway is stored in the gw_node->orig_node member, but the refcount for such orig_node is never increased.
This leads to memory faults when gw_node->orig_node is accessed and the originator has already been freed.

Fix this by increasing the refcount on gw_node creation and decreasing it on gw_node free.

---

Change since v1:
- properly release orig_node in case of gw_node allocation failure
