batadv_neigh_ifinfo_get can return NULL when it cannot find (even when only temporarily) anymore the neigh_ifinfo in the list neigh->ifinfo_list. This has to be checked to avoid kernel Oopses when the ifinfo is dereferenced.
This a situation which isn't expected but is already handled by functions like batadv_v_neigh_cmp. The same kind of warning is therefore used before the function returns without dereferencing the pointers.

Looks like the reference counting is also completely broken in these functions :(
Kind regards, Sven
