Subject: [PATCH 4.1 125/202] batman-adv: fix kernel crash due to missing NULL checks

4.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Marek Lindner <mareklindner@...mailbox.ch>

commit 354136bcc3c4f40a2813bba8f57ca5267d812d15 upstream.

batadv_softif_vlan_get() may return NULL which has to be verified
by the caller.

Fixes: 35df3b298fc8 ("batman-adv: fix TT VLAN inconsistency on VLAN re-add")
