Subject: [PATCH 8/9] batman-adv: fix reference counting imbalance while
 sending fragment
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

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 db56e4ecf5c2b179a0101138eacc2ec52b6ef45d
("batman-adv: Fragment and send skbs larger than mtu")
