commit cb4d66e6803b854663ee758e3eecbda183b0b007 Author: Simon Wunderlich sw@simonwunderlich.de Date: Sat Feb 8 16:45:06 2014 +0100

batman-adv: fix potential orig_node reference leak

Since batadv_orig_node_new() sets the refcount to two, assuming that the calling function will use a reference for putting the orig_node into a hash or similar, both references must be freed if initialization of the orig_node fails. Otherwise that object may be leaked in that error case.
