Subject: [PATCH net 1/2] ax25: Fix refcount leaks caused by ax25_cb_del()

The previous commit d01ffb9eee4a ("ax25: add refcount in ax25_dev to avoid
UAF bugs") and commit feef318c855a ("ax25: fix UAF bugs of net_device
caused by rebinding operation") increase the refcounts of ax25_dev and
net_device in ax25_bind() and decrease the matching refcounts in
ax25_kill_by_device() in order to prevent UAF bugs, but there are
reference count leaks.

The root cause of refcount leaks is shown below:

     (Thread 1)                      |      (Thread 2)
ax25_bind()                          |
 ...                                 |
 ax25_addr_ax25dev()                 |
  ax25_dev_hold()   //(1)            |
  ...                                |
 dev_hold_track()   //(2)            |
 ...                                 | ax25_destroy_socket()
                                     |  ax25_cb_del()
                                     |   ...
                                     |   hlist_del_init() //(3)
                                     |
     (Thread 3)                      |
ax25_kill_by_device()                |
 ...                                 |
 ax25_for_each(s, &ax25_list) {      |
  if (s->ax25_dev == ax25_dev) //(4) |
   ...                               |

Firstly, we use ax25_bind() to increase the refcount of ax25_dev in
position (1) and increase the refcount of net_device in position (2).
Then, we use ax25_cb_del() invoked by ax25_destroy_socket() to delete
ax25_cb in hlist in position (3) before calling ax25_kill_by_device().
Finally, the decrements of refcounts in ax25_kill_by_device() will not
be executed, because no s->ax25_dev equals to ax25_dev in position (4).

This patch adds a flag in ax25_dev in order to prevent reference count
leaks. If the above condition happens, the "test_bit" condition check
in ax25_kill_by_device() could pass and the refcounts could be
decreased properly.

Fixes: feef318c855a ("ax25: fix UAF bugs of net_device caused by rebinding operation")
