[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH 2/4] batman-adv: fix reference counting imbalance while sending fragment

Antonio Quartulli

From: Antonio Quartulli <antonio@open-mesh.com>

In the new fragmentation code the batadv_frag_send_packet()
function obtains a reference to the primary_if, but it does
not release it upon return.

This reference imbalance prevents the primary_if (and then
the related netdevice) to be properly released on shut down.

Fix this by releasing the primary_if in batadv_frag_send_packet().

Introduced by ee75ed88879af88558818a5c6609d85f60ff0df4
("batman-adv: Fragment and send skbs larger than mtu")
