Subject: [PATCH 3/6]NET:AX25:ROSE Traps calls to rose_route_frame with a
 NULL ax25 callback

Subject: [PATCH 3/6]NET:AX25:ROSE Traps calls to rose_route_frame with a NULL ax25 callback
Traps calls to rose_route_frame with a NULL ax25 callback to
prevent a kernel crash.

Calling rose_route_frame with a NULL ax25 callback parameter indicates a
locally generated frame.  The existing code does not handle the NULL value
and the kernel hard crashes in an interrupt, resulting in the system stopping
processing.
