batman-adv: use __dev_get_by_index instead of dev_get_by_index to find interface

The following call chains indicate that batadv_is_on_batman_iface()
is always under rtnl_lock protection as call_netdevice_notifier()
is protected by rtnl_lock. So if __dev_get_by_index() rather than
dev_get_by_index() is used to find interface handler in it, this
would help us avoid to change interface reference counter.

call_netdevice_notifier()
  batadv_hard_if_event()
    batadv_hardif_add_interface()
      batadv_is_valid_iface()
        batadv_is_on_batman_iface()
