Hi Biju,
Thank you for the patch.

This raises so many red flags. The function will free the node while the
adv->host_node variable still points to it, opening the door to
use-after-free. Furthermore, there's nothing in the function name that
hints it will do this, callers can get surprised by this behaviour.
I'm sure you can do better than this and fix the problem with readable
code, not cryptic and error-prone constructs :-)
