When batadv_store_throughput_override() returns, "hard_iface" becomes invalid, so the refcount should be decreased to keep refcount balanced. The issue happens in one error path of batadv_store_throughput_override(). When batadv_parse_throughput() returns NULL, the refcnt increased by batadv_hardif_get_by_netdev() is not decreased, causing a refcnt leak. Fix this issue by jumping to "out" label when batadv_parse_throughput() returns NULL.
