Staging: batman-adv: only modify hna-table on active module

Browse source

If we haven't set the module to MODULE_ACTIVE state before (in general,
no interface has yet been added to batman-adv) then the hna table is not
initialised yet. If the kernel changes the mac address of the bat0
interface at this moment then an hna_local_add() called by interface_set_mac_addr()
then resulted in a null pointer derefernce. With this patch we are now
explicitly checking before if the state is MODULE_ACTIVE right now so
that we can assume having an initialised hna table.
