batman-adv: Fix NULL pointer dereference in DAT hash collision avoidance
An entry in DAT with the hashed position of 0 can cause a NULL pointer dereference when the first entry is checked by batadv_choose_next_candidate. This first candidate automatically has the max value of 0 and the max_orig_node of NULL. Not checking max_orig_node for NULL in batadv_is_orig_node_eligible will lead to a NULL pointer dereference when checking for the lowest address. This problem was added in 785ea1144182c341b8b85b0f8180291839d176a8 ("batman-adv: Distributed ARP Table - create DHT helper functions").
