[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCHv4 next 02/11] batman-adv: don't mess up with the netdev refcounting if not needed

[Antonio Quartulli]

Looking for an interface and increasing its refcounter only
to check if it really exists is not really useful and makes
the code look more complex without a real gain.

Change batadv_mcast_has_bridge() accordingly and avoid to
use the pointer to the interface outside of the
rcu_read_lock/unlock context.

Introduced by e368857f66620b8483166e8e6556d9c87f9b3e71
