[PATCH batadv 3/4] batman-adv: tt: don't uncount never committed clients on pending purge

batadv_tt_local_purge_pending_clients() decreases vlan->tt.num_entries for
every entry it unlinks, but an entry which still carries
BATADV_TT_CLIENT_NEW was never counted by batadv_tt_local_transition_new().

batadv_tt_local_resize_to_mtu() calls batadv_tt_local_purge() and
batadv_tt_local_purge_pending_clients() directly, without committing in
between, and it halves its timeout down towards zero. Once the timeout is
short enough, batadv_tt_local_purge_list() marks even freshly added clients
as pending. And each of them decreases a counter it never increased.

Consume the BATADV_TT_CLIENT_NEW accounting token here as well, so that the
counter is only decreased for entries which were actually counted.
