batman-adv: Prevent duplicated nc_node entry

commit fa122fec8640eb7186ce5a41b83a4c1744ceef8f upstream.

The function batadv_nc_get_nc_node is responsible for adding new nc_nodes
to the in_coding_list and out_coding_list. It first checks whether the
entry already is in the list or not. If it is, then the creation of a new
entry is aborted.

But the lock for the list is only held when the list is really modified.
This could lead to duplicated entries because another context could create
an entry with the same key between the check and the list manipulation.

The check and the manipulation of the list must therefore be in the same
locked code section.
