[PATCH 1/1] ax25: Fix segfault when receiving an iframe with net2kiss loaded

[Basil Gunn]

AX.25 uses sock_queue_rcv_skb() to queue an iframe received packet.
This routine writes NULL to the socket buffer device structure
pointer. The socket buffer is subsequently serviced by
__netif_receiv_skb_core() which dereferences the device structure
pointer & segfaults.

The fix puts the ax25 device structure pointer back in the socket
buffer struct after sock_queue_rcv_skb() is called.

To trigger the segfault setup an ax.25 device (ax0) then run net2kiss
(net2kiss -v -i ax0 /dev/ptmx). In another console make an ax.25
connection (call udr0 jnbbs). Within 2 received packets a segfault
will occur.

Please submit to -stable.
