Subject: [PATCH net-next 2/3] ax25: add link layer header validation function

From: Willem de Bruijn <willemb@...gle.com>

As variable length protocol, AX25 fails link layer header validation
tests based on a minimum length. header_ops.validate allows protocols
to validate headers that are shorter than hard_header_len. Implement
this callback for AX25.
