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.

Changes in v2:
- Fix x25_neigh refcnt leak in x25_disconnect() rather than in
x25_connect()
