deref_null.cocci, with the following warning:

./net/batman-adv/gateway_client.c:289:15-24: ERROR: next_gw is NULL but 
dereferenced.
./net/batman-adv/gateway_client.c:290:15-29: ERROR: next_gw is NULL but 
dereferenced.
./net/batman-adv/gateway_client.c:291:15-29: ERROR: next_gw is NULL but 
dereferenced.
./net/batman-adv/gateway_client.c:292:15-27: ERROR: next_gw is NULL but 
dereferenced.
