[PATCH 2/4] batman-adv: fix neigh reference imbalance

From: Antonio Quartulli <hidden>
Date: 2014-05-10 15:36:32
Also in: batman
Subsystem: batman advanced, the rest · Maintainers: Marek Lindner, Simon Wunderlich, Antonio Quartulli, Sven Eckelmann, Linus Torvalds

From: Simon Wunderlich <redacted>

When an interface is removed from batman-adv, the orig_ifinfo of a
orig_node may be removed without releasing the router first.
This will prevent the reference for the neighbor pointed at by the
orig_ifinfo->router to be released, and this leak may result in
reference leaks for the interface used by this neighbor. Fix that.

This is a regression introduced by
7351a4822d42827ba0110677c0cbad88a3d52585
("batman-adv: split out router from orig_node").
