[PATCH batadv v2 2/9] batman-adv: tp_meter: annotate last_recv_time access with READ/WRITE_ONCE

The last_recv_time field for batadv_tp_receiver 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.
Fixes: 98d7a766b645 ("batman-adv: throughput meter implementation")
