Subject: [PATCH] batman-adv: avoid WARN_ON for orig_ifinfo allocation failure
Author: kartikey406@gmail.com
#syz test: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git master
batadv_orig_ifinfo_new() returns NULL only when its GFP_ATOMIC
allocation fails, which is a normal runtime condition and not a bug.
batadv_v_ogm_forward() already handles this the same way, simply
checking for NULL without a WARN_ON.
Do the same in batadv_iv_ogm_update_seqnos() to avoid a spurious
WARN_ON splat when the allocation fails (e.g. under fault injection).
Fixes: 7351a4822d42 ("batman-adv: split out router from orig_node")
Reported-by: syzbot+a079f084653164a652d1@syzkaller.appspotmail.com
Closes: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=a079f084653164a652d1
