Doing so, we save one call to get data we already have in the struct. Also, since there is no guarantee that getname use sockaddr_ll parameter beyond its size, we add a little bit of security here. It should do not do beyond MAX_ADDR_LEN, but syzbot found that ax25_getname writes more (72 bytes, the size of full_sockaddr_ax25, versus 20 + 32 bytes of sockaddr_ll + MAX_ADDR_LEN in syzbot repro).
