[PATCH net] net/x25: Fix null-ptr-deref caused by x25_disconnect

[Duoming Zhou]

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.

x25_link_terminated()          | x25_recvmsg()
 x25_kill_by_neigh()           |  ...
  x25_disconnect()             |  lock_sock(sk)
   ...                         |  ...
   x25->neighbour = NULL //(1) |
   ...                         |  x25->neighbour->extended //(2)

We set NULL to x25->neighbour in position (1) and dereference
x25->neighbour in position (2), which could cause null-ptr-deref bug.

This patch adds lock_sock(sk) in x25_disconnect() in order to synchronize
with x25_sendmsg(), x25_recvmsg() and x25_connect(). What`s more, the sk
held by lock_sock() is not NULL, because it is extracted from x25_list
and uses x25_list_lock to synchronize.

[周多明]

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