This patch might not be entirely necessary. x25_kill_by_neigh and
x25_kill_by_device are just two helper functions. One function takes
nb as the argument and the other one takes dev as the argument. But
they do almost the same things. It doesn't harm to keep both. In C++
we often have different functions with the same name doing almost the
same things.
The original code also seems to be a little more efficient than the new code.
