batadv_find_router dereferences last_bonding_candidate from orig_node without making sure that it has a valid reference. This reference has to be retrieved by increasing the reference counter while holding neigh_list_lock. The lock is required to avoid that batadv_last_bonding_replace removes the current last_bonding_candidate, reduces the reference counter and maybe destroys the object in this process.
