Subject: [PATCH 3/4] batman-adv: Improve exception handling in batadv_throw_uevent()

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>

The kfree() function was called in up to three cases by
the batadv_throw_uevent() function during error handling
even if the passed variable contained a null pointer.
This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

* Thus adjust jump targets.

* Reorder kfree() calls at the end.
