From: Xiyu Yang <xiyuyang19@xxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 6f91a3f7af4186099dd10fa530dd7e0d9c29747d upstream. batadv_v_ogm_process() invokes batadv_hardif_neigh_get(), which returns a reference of the neighbor object to "hardif_neigh" with increased refcount. When batadv_v_ogm_process() returns, "hardif_neigh" becomes invalid, so the refcount should be decreased to keep refcount balanced. The reference counting issue happens in one exception handling paths of batadv_v_ogm_process(). When batadv_v_ogm_orig_get() fails to get the orig node and returns NULL, the refcnt increased by batadv_hardif_neigh_get() is not decreased, causing a refcnt leak. Fix this issue by jumping to "out" label when batadv_v_ogm_orig_get() fails to get the orig node.
