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_store_throughput_override() returns, "hard_iface" becomes invalid, so the refcount should be decreased to keep refcount balanced.
The issue happens in one error path of batadv_store_throughput_override(). When batadv_parse_throughput() returns NULL, the refcnt increased by batadv_hardif_get_by_netdev() is not decreased, causing a refcnt leak.
Fix this issue by jumping to "out" label when batadv_parse_throughput() returns NULL.
