commit 690bb6fb64f5dc7437317153902573ecad67593d upstream.
There is no need to call dev_get_iflink multiple times for the same net_device in batadv_is_on_batman_iface. 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.
