[2/3] batman-adv: Request iflink once in batadv_get_real_netdevice
Commit Message
From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>
There is no need to call dev_get_iflink multiple times for the same
net_device in batadv_get_real_netdevice. And since some of the
ndo_get_iflink callbacks are dynamic (for example via RCUs like in
vxcan_get_iflink), it could easily happen that the returned values are not
stable. The pre-checks before __dev_get_by_index are then of course bogus.
Fixes: 5ed4a460a1d3 ("batman-adv: additional checks for virtual interfaces on top of WiFi")
