From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>

commit 6116ba09423f7d140f0460be6a1644dceaad00da upstream.

There is no need to call dev_get_iflink multiple times for the same
net_device in batadv_get_real_netdevice. And since some of the
ndo_get_iflink callbacks are dynamic (for example via RCUs like in
vxcan_get_iflink), it could easily happen that the returned values are not
stable. The pre-checks before __dev_get_by_index are then of course bogus.

Fixes: 5ed4a460a1d3 ("batman-adv: additional checks for virtual interfaces on top of WiFi")
