The callers of the functions using batadv_hard_iface objects already make
sure that they hold a valid reference. The subfunctions don't have
to check whether the reference counter is > 0 because this was checked by
the callers.
The kref_get function instead WARNs (with debug information) when the
reference counter would still be 0. This makes a bug in batman-adv better
visible because kref_get_unless_zero would have ignored this problem.
