Subject: [PATCH 3.16 035/346] batman-adv: Avoid nullptr dereference in dat
 after vlan_insert_tag

3.16.39-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@...fation.org>

commit 60154a1e0495ffb8343a95cefe1e874634572fa8 upstream.

vlan_insert_tag can return NULL on errors. The distributed arp table code
therefore has to check the return value of vlan_insert_tag for NULL before
it can safely operate on this pointer.

Fixes: be1db4f6615b ("batman-adv: make the Distributed ARP Table vlan aware")
