batman-adv: count batman_if list queries as reference
The return of get_batman_if_by_netdev and get_active_batman_if leaks a
pointer from the rcu protected list of interfaces. We must protect it to
prevent a too early release of the memory. Those functions must increase
the reference counter before rcu_read_unlock or it may be to late to
prevent a free.
hardif_add_interface must also increase the reference count for the
returned batman_if to make the behaviour consistent.
