Subject: batman-adv: fix indirect hard_iface NULL dereference
From: Marek Lindner <mareklindner@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 16a4142363b11952d3aa76ac78004502c0c2fe6e ]
If hard_iface is NULL and goto out is made batadv_hardif_free_ref()
doesn't check for NULL before dereferencing it to get to refcount.
Introduced in cb1c92ec37fb70543d133a1fa7d9b54d6f8a1ecd
("batman-adv: add debugfs support to view multiif tables").
