[PATCH 3.12 66/66] batman: fix a bogus warning from batadv_is_on_batman_iface()

From: Cong Wang <cwang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

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

===============

commit b6ed5498601df40489606dbc14a9c7011c16630b upstream.

batman tries to search dev->iflink to check if it's a batman interface,
but ->iflink could be 0, which is not a valid ifindex. It should just
avoid iflink == 0 case.
