Subject: [PATCH net v3] batman-adv: Fix double-hold of meshif when getting enabled

It was originally meant to replace the dev_hold with netdev_hold. But this
was missed in this place and thus there was an imbalance when trying to
remove the interfaces.

Fixes: 00b35530811f ("batman-adv: adopt netdev_hold() / netdev_put()")
