batman-adv: Check hard_iface refcnt before calling function
The batadv_hardif_list list is checked in many situations and the items in this list are given to specialized functions to modify the routing behavior. At the moment each of these called functions has to check itself whether the received batadv_hard_iface has a refcount > 0 before it can increase the reference counter and use it in other objects. This can easily lead to problems because it is not easily visible where all callers of a function got the batadv_hard_iface object from and whether they already hold a valid reference. Checking the reference counter directly before calling a subfunction with a pointer from the batadv_hardif_list avoids this problem.
