Subject: [PATCH net] ax25: Replace kfree() in ax25_dev_free() with ax25_dev_put()

The object "ax25_dev" is managed by reference counting. Thus it should
not be directly released by kfree(), replace with ax25_dev_put().

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