Subject: [PATCH 4/7] batman-adv: Remove slave interfaces before removing master interface

The master (soft-interface) should remove the references to its soft-interfaces
before it gets destroyed. Otherwise the usage count of the interface will not be
zero and therefore the net_device cannot be removed. This leads to an endless
hang of the unregister call.
