Subject: [PATCH net-next] ax25: Fix deadlock caused by skb_recv_datagram in ax25_recvmsg

The skb_recv_datagram() in ax25_recvmsg() will hold lock_sock
and block until it receives a packet from the remote. If the client
doesn`t connect to server and calls read() directly, it will not
receive any packets forever. As a result, the deadlock will happen.

The fail log caused by deadlock is shown below:

[  861.122612] INFO: task ax25_deadlock:148 blocked for more than 737 seconds.
[  861.124543] "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.

This patch moves the skb_recv_datagram() before lock_sock() in order
that other functions that need lock_sock could be executed.
