Subject: [PATCH][AX25]: Potential ax25_uid_assoc-s leaks on module unload.

The ax25_uid_free call walks the ax25_uid_list and releases
entries from it. The problem is that after the fisrt call to
hlist_del_init the hlist_for_each_entry (which hides behind
the ax25_uid_for_each) will consider the current position to
be the last and will return.

Thus, the whole list will be left not freed.
