batman-adv: Improve exception handling in batadv_throw_uevent()
[ Upstream commit 5593e9abf1cf2bf096366d8c7fd933bc69d561ce ]
The kfree() function was called in up to three cases by
the batadv_throw_uevent() function during error handling
even if the passed variable contained a null pointer.
This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
* Thus adjust jump targets.
* Reorder kfree() calls at the end.
