batman-adv: Fix null pointer deref. when adding hard-if as soft-if
Commit Message
When we are trying to create a batman soft-interface which already
exists as a common hard interface, batman wrongly assumes that this
hard interface is a fully initialized soft interface. This leads to a
null pointer dereference on the first try of accessing for instance a
non-intialized orig_hash.
