batman-adv: fix splat on disabling an interface

Browse source 
As long as there is still a reference for a hard interface held, there might
still be a forwarding packet relying on its attributes.

Therefore avoid setting hard_iface->soft_iface to NULL when disabling a hard
interface.

This fixes the following, potential splat:

    batman_adv: bat0: Interface deactivated: eth1
    batman_adv: bat0: Removing interface: eth1
    cgroup: new mount options do not match the existing superblock, will be ignored
    batman_adv: bat0: Interface deactivated: eth3
    batman_adv: bat0: Removing interface: eth3

What happened here is, that there was still a forw_packet (here: a BATMAN IV
OGM) in the queue of eth3 with the forw_packet->if_incoming set to eth1 and the
forw_packet->if_outgoing set to eth3.

When eth3 is to be deactivated and removed, then this thread waits for the
forw_packet queued on eth3 to finish. Because eth1 was deactivated and removed
earlier and by that had forw_packet->if_incoming->soft_iface, set to NULL, the
splat when trying to send/flush the OGM on eth3 occures.
