    ax25: Fix reference count leak issues of ax25_dev · b505e031
    Duoming Zhou authored
    The ax25_addr_ax25dev() and ax25_dev_device_down() exist a reference
    count leak issue of the object "ax25_dev".
    
    Memory leak issue in ax25_addr_ax25dev():
    
    The reference count of the object "ax25_dev" can be increased multiple
    times in ax25_addr_ax25dev(). This will cause a memory leak.
    
    Memory leak issues in ax25_dev_device_down():
    
    The reference count of ax25_dev is set to 1 in ax25_dev_device_up() and
    then increase the reference count when ax25_dev is added to ax25_dev_list.
    As a result, the reference count of ax25_dev is 2. But when the device is
    shutting down. The ax25_dev_device_down() drops the reference count once
    or twice depending on if we goto unlock_put or not, which will cause
    memory leak.
    
    As for the issue of ax25_addr_ax25dev(), it is impossible for one pointer
    to be on a list twice. So add a break in ax25_addr_ax25dev(). As for the
    issue of ax25_dev_device_down(), increase the reference count of ax25_dev
    once in ax25_dev_device_up() and decrease the reference count of ax25_dev
    after it is removed from the ax25_dev_list.
