[PATCH v2] net/x25: Fix x25_neigh refcnt leak when x25 disconnect

[Xiyu Yang]

x25_connect() invokes x25_get_neigh(), which returns a reference of the
specified x25_neigh object to "x25->neighbour" with increased refcnt.

When x25 connect success and returns, the reference still be hold by
"x25->neighbour", so the refcount should be decreased in
x25_disconnect() to keep refcount balanced.

The reference counting issue happens in x25_disconnect(), which forgets
to decrease the refcnt increased by x25_get_neigh() in x25_connect(),
causing a refcnt leak.

Fix this issue by calling x25_neigh_put() before x25_disconnect()
returns.
