Subject: [PATCH net v3 2/2] ax25: Change kfree() in ax25_dev_free() to ax25_dev_put()

The object "ax25_dev" is managed by reference counting. Thus it should
not be directly released by a kfree() call in ax25_dev_free(). Replace
it with a ax25_dev_put() call instead.

Fixes: d01ffb9eee4a ("ax25: add refcount in ax25_dev to avoid UAF bugs")
Suggested-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@...aro.org>
