[ Upstream commit f872de8185acf1b48b954ba5bd8f9bc0a0d14016 ]
batadv_show_throughput_override() invokes batadv_hardif_get_by_netdev(), which gets a batadv_hard_iface object from net_dev with increased refcnt and its reference is assigned to a local pointer 'hard_iface'.
When batadv_show_throughput_override() returns, "hard_iface" becomes invalid, so the refcount should be decreased to keep refcount balanced.
The issue happens in the normal path of batadv_show_throughput_override(), which forgets to decrease the refcnt increased by batadv_hardif_get_by_netdev() before the function returns, causing a refcnt leak.
Fix this issue by calling batadv_hardif_put() before the batadv_show_throughput_override() returns in the normal path.
