3.13.11.4 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Antonio Quartulli <antonio@open-mesh.com>

[ Upstream commit be181015a189cd141398b761ba4e79d33fe69949 ]

In the new fragmentation code the batadv_frag_send_packet()
function obtains a reference to the primary_if, but it does
not release it upon return.

This reference imbalance prevents the primary_if (and then
the related netdevice) to be properly released on shut down.

Fix this by releasing the primary_if in batadv_frag_send_packet().

Introduced by ee75ed88879af88558818a5c6609d85f60ff0df4
("batman-adv: Fragment and send skbs larger than mtu")
