In the case where hard_iface is NULL, the error path may pass a null
pointer to batadv_hardif_put causing a null pointer dereference error.
Avoid this by only calling the function if  hard_iface not null.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1466456 ("Explicit null dereferenced")

Now I only have to find out why I didn't receive the mail about this 
from coverity.

Thanks,
