[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH maint] batman-adv: Revert "fix splat on disabling an interface"

[Sven Eckelmann]

The commit bac7733d06fa ("batman-adv: fix splat on disabling an interface")
fixed a warning but at the same time broke the rtnl function add_slave for
devices which were temporarily removed.

batadv_softif_slave_add requires soft_iface of and hard_iface to be NULL
before it is allowed to be enslaved. But this resetting of soft_iface to
NULL in batadv_hardif_disable_interface was removed with the aforementioned
commit.

This is a simple revert. Linus, feel free to propose a patch to remove the
"|| hard_iface->soft_iface" when you think it is safe and you've tested
that it works

Bug report for it can be found at https://www.open-mesh.org/issues/307

Like I said in the ticket, I can't reproduce the splat with
v2016.4 plus this revert right now.

Maybe changes to the hard-interface handling might have fixed it
properly in the mean time.
