Ah...  I was really hoping it was related to the other bugs.

Okay, what about we separate this into different patches one for each
bug?  The changes to ax25_addr_ax25dev() and ax25_dev_free() are
obvious and could go in as-is but as two separate patches.

The changes to ax25_dev_device_up/down() are more subtle.

The ax25_dev_list stuff is frustrating.  It would be so much easier if
it were a normal list and you could just do:

        /*
         *      Remove any packet forwarding that points to this device.
         */
        list_for_each_entry(s, ax25_dev_list, list) {
                if (s->forward == dev)
                        s->forward = NULL;
        }

        list_for_each_entry(s, ax25_dev_list, list) {
                if (s == ax25_dev) {
                        list_del(s);
                        free_net = true;
                        break;
                }
        }

        spin_unlock_bh(&ax25_dev_lock);
        dev->ax25_ptr = NULL;
        if (free_net)
                netdev_put(dev, &ax25_dev->dev_tracker);
        ax25_dev_put(ax25_dev);
}

Why do we call netdev_put() on that one path?  Btw, here is an untested
conversion to lists...
