[PATCH batadv 1/1] batman-adv: fix tp_meter counter underflow during shutdown

From: Luxiao Xu <[email protected]>

batadv_tp_sender_shutdown() unconditionally decrements the "sending"
atomic counter. If multiple paths (e.g. timeout, user cancel, and
normal finish) call this function, the counter can underflow to -1.

Since the sender logic treats any non-zero value as "still sending",
a negative value causes the sender kthread to loop indefinitely.
This leads to a use-after-free when the interface is removed while
the zombie thread is still active.

Fix this by using atomic_xchg() to ensure the counter only transitions
from 1 to 0 once.
