Subject: [PATCH 2/7] batman-adv: Avoid nullptr dereference in dat after vlan_insert_tag

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

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.
