Subject: [PATCH 5.4 61/63] ax25: fix NPD bug in ax25_disconnect

From: Duoming Zhou <duoming@....edu.cn>

commit 7ec02f5ac8a5be5a3f20611731243dc5e1d9ba10 upstream.

The ax25_disconnect() in ax25_kill_by_device() is not
protected by any locks, thus there is a race condition
between ax25_disconnect() and ax25_destroy_socket().
when ax25->sk is assigned as NULL by ax25_destroy_socket(),
a NULL pointer dereference bug will occur if site (1) or (2)
dereferences ax25->sk.

ax25_kill_by_device()                | ax25_release()
  ax25_disconnect()                  |   ax25_destroy_socket()
    ...                              |
    if(ax25->sk != NULL)             |     ...
      ...                            |     ax25->sk = NULL;
      bh_lock_sock(ax25->sk); //(1)  |     ...
      ...                            |
      bh_unlock_sock(ax25->sk); //(2)|

This patch moves ax25_disconnect() into lock_sock(), which can
synchronize with ax25_destroy_socket() in ax25_release().
