Hi,
this looks good. David, would you pick this patch directly? Otherwise, I can send a pull request, but right now we would only have this single patch for net-next.

In the case where hard_iface is NULL, the error path may pass a null pointer to batadv_hardif_put causing a null pointer dereference error. Avoid this by only calling the function if hard_iface not null.
