The version number of modules build outside of the tree can get revision
numbers added. This is useful to give hints about the revision of a
distribution package and the used patchset. The prepended source number or
branch name doesn't add any additional information which would help to identify
problems and can therefore be omitted.

The gateway election mechanism has been a little revised. Now the
gw_election is trigered by an atomic_t flag (gw_reselect) which is set
to 1 in case of election needed, avoding to set curr_gw to NULL.

gw_node_delete is defined with "void" as return type, but still tries to
return a value. The called function gw_node_delete is also return as
void and thus doesn't provide a value for us.

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.

Documentation/CodingStyle recommends to use the form
p = kmalloc(sizeof(*p), ...);
to calculate the size of a struct and not the version where the struct
name is spelled out to prevent bugs when the type of p changes. This
also seems appropriate for manipulation of buffers when they are
directly associated with p.

This is a regression from c4aac1ab9b
- gw_node_update() doesn't add a new gw_node in case of empty curr_gw.
This means that at the beginning no gw_node is added, leading to an
empty gateway list.
- gw_election() is terminating in case of curr_gw == NULL. It has to
terminate in case of curr_gw != NULL

It might be possible that 2 threads access the same data in the same
rcu grace period. The first thread calls call_rcu() to decrement the
refcount and free the data while the second thread increases the
refcount to use the data. To avoid this race condition all refcount
operations have to be atomic.
