The first patch uses kernel universal linked list to implement
ax25_dev_list, which makes the operation of the list easier.
The second and third patch fix reference count leak issues of
the object "ax25_dev" and "net_device".

ax25: Use kernel universal linked list to implement ax25_dev_list
ax25: Fix reference count leak issues of ax25_dev
ax25: Fix reference count leak issues of net_device

2.17.1
The origin ax25_dev_list implements its own single linked list,
which is complicated and error-prone. For example, when deleting
the node of ax25_dev_list in ax25_dev_device_down(), we have to
operate on the head node and other nodes separately.
This patch uses kernel universal linked list to replace original
ax25_dev_list, which make the operation of ax25_dev_list easier.
There are two points that need to notice:
[1] We should add a check to judge whether the list is empty before
INIT_LIST_HEAD in ax25_dev_device_up(), otherwise it will empty the
list for each new ax25_dev added.
[2] We should do "dev->ax25_ptr = ax25_dev;" and "dev->ax25_ptr = NULL;"
while holding the spinlock, otherwise the ax25_dev_device_up() and
ax25_dev_device_down() could race, we're not guaranteed to find a match
ax25_dev in ax25_dev_device_down().

2.17.1
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.

The ax25_dev_device_down() exists reference count leak issues of
the object "net_device". When the ax25 device is shutting down.
The ax25_dev_device_down() drops the reference count of net_device
one or zero times depending on if we goto unlock_put or not, which
will cause memory leak.
In order to solve the above issue, decrease the reference count of
net_device after dev->ax25_ptr is set to null.

will there be any case where this condition is true ? LIST_HEAD() or list_del() will never
make this condition true.
