[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH 06/10] batman-adv: fix potential orig_node reference leak

From: Simon Wunderlich <sw@simonwunderlich.de>

Since batadv_orig_node_new() sets the refcount to two, assuming that
the calling function will use a reference for putting the orig_node into
a hash or similar, both references must be freed if initialization of
the orig_node fails. Otherwise that object may be leaked in that error
case.
