commit 6107c5da0fca8b50b4d3215e94d619d38cc4a18c upstream.
batadv_show_throughput_override() invokes batadv_hardif_get_by_netdev(),
which gets a batadv_hard_iface object from net_dev with increased refcnt
and its reference is assigned to a local pointer 'hard_iface'.
When batadv_store_throughput_override() returns, "hard_iface" becomes
invalid, so the refcount should be decreased to keep refcount balanced.
The issue happens in one error path of
batadv_store_throughput_override(). When batadv_parse_throughput()
returns NULL, the refcnt increased by batadv_hardif_get_by_netdev() is
not decreased, causing a refcnt leak.
Fix this issue by jumping to "out" label when batadv_parse_throughput()
returns NULL.
Fixes: 0b5ecc6811bd ("batman-adv: add throughput override attribute to hard_ifaces")
