[PATCH batadv] batman-adv: bla: annotate lasttime access with READ/WRITE_ONCE

The lasttime field for claim, backbone_gw, and loopdetect tracks the
jiffies value of the most recent activity and is used to detect timeouts.
These accesses are not consistently protected by a lock, so
READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE must be used to prevent data races caused by compiler
optimizations.
