Subject: [PATCH] batman-adv: Less function calls in batadv_is_ap_isolated()
 after error detection

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Fri, 11 Mar 2016 13:10:20 +0100

The variables "tt_local_entry" and "tt_global_entry" were eventually
checked again despite of a corresponding null pointer test before.

* Avoid this double check by reordering a function call sequence
  and the better selection of jump targets.

* Omit the initialisation for these variables at the beginning then.
