Subject: [PATCH] ax25: Add missing dev_put in ax25_setsockopt

ax25_setsockopt SO_BINDTODEVICE is missing a dev_put call in case of
success.  Re-order code to fix this bug.  While at it also reformat two
lines of code to comply with the Linux coding style.

Initial patch by Jarek Poplawski <jarkao2@...il.com>.

Counter-proposal.  Reordering all the code avoids the need for a 2nd dev_put
and is more readable.
