[stable-4.6] batman-adv: Fix double neigh_node_put in batadv_v_ogm_route_update
Commit Message
From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>
The router is put down twice when it was non-NULL and either orig_ifinfo is
NULL afterwards or batman-adv receives a packet with the same sequence
number. This will end up in a use-after-free when the batadv_neigh_node is
removed because the reference counter ended up too early at 0.
Fixes: 9323158ef9f4 ("batman-adv: OGMv2 - implement originators logic")

This patch is skipping netdev and is being sent directly to stable in
accordance with David S. Miller[1].
The reason is that this patch applies only on linux-4.6 and not on
linux-4.7/net because it was "accidentally" fixed by a refactoring
commit (more details in [2]).
It addresses a reference imbalance which systematically leads to a
use-after-free and then a kernel crash.
Cheers,
