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.


Well I don't like to have 2 functions doing the same thing.
But after another look at this code, I've found that I also need to
remove the call to x25_clear_forward_by_dev() in the function
x25_route_device_down(). Otherwise, it will be called twice.

The original code also seems to be a little more efficient than the new code.

The only difference would be the x25_get_neigh() and x25_neigh_put()
calls. That shouldn't cost to much.
