Subject: [PATCH net v2 2/2] ax25: fix potential reference counting leak in ax25_addr_ax25dev

The reference counting of ax25_dev potentially increase more
than once in ax25_addr_ax25dev(), which will cause memory leak.

In order to fix the above issue, only increase the reference
counting of ax25_dev once, when the res is not null.

Fixes: d01ffb9eee4a ("ax25: add refcount in ax25_dev to avoid UAF bugs")
