Subject: [PATCH] net: batman-adv: fix warning in batadv_v_ogm_free

If batadv_v_ogm_init encounters a memory failure, the fields ogm_wq,
ogm_buff_mutex and etc. are not initialized. Then the control flow goes
to batadv_v_ogm_free due to the error handling code. As a result, the
API invocation "cancel_delayed_work_sync" and "mutex_lock" will cause
many issues. The crashing stack trace is as follows:

Call Trace:
 __cancel_work_timer+0x1c9/0x280 kernel/workqueue.c:3170
