batman-adv: Place kref_get for hard_iface near use

Browse Source 
It is hard to understand why the refcnt is increased when it isn't done
near the actual place the new reference is used. So using kref_get right
before the place which requires the reference and in the same function
helps to avoid accidental problems caused by incorrect reference counting.
