batman-adv: invoke dev_get_by_index() outside of is_wifi_iface()
Upcoming changes need to perform other checks on the incoming net_device struct. To avoid performing dev_get_by_index() for each and every check, it is better to move it outside of is_wifi_iface() and search the netdev object once only.
