I am sorry, this patch has a problem. I will send the correct version later.

> The previous commit 4becb7ee5b3d ("net/x25: Fix x25_neigh refcnt leak when
> x25 disconnect") adds decrement of refcount of x25->neighbour and sets
> x25->neighbour to NULL in x25_disconnect(), but when the link layer is
> terminating, it could cause null-ptr-deref bugs in x25_sendmsg(),
> x25_recvmsg() and x25_connect(). One of the bugs is shown below.
