When releasing a socket in ax25_release(), we call netdev_put() to
decrease the refcount on the associated ax.25 device. However, the
execution path for accepting an incoming connection never calls
netdev_hold(). This imbalance leads to refcount errors, and ultimately
to kernel crashes.
A typical call trace for the above situation will start with one of the
following errors:
refcount_t: decrement hit 0; leaking memory.
refcount_t: underflow; use-after-free.
And will then have a trace like:
Call Trace:

On reboot (or any attempt to remove the interface), the kernel gets
stuck in an infinite loop:
unregister_netdevice: waiting for ax0 to become free. Usage count = 0
This patch corrects these issues by ensuring that we call netdev_hold()
and ax25_dev_hold() for new connections in ax25_accept(). This makes the
logic leading to ax25_accept() match the logic for ax25_bind(): in both
cases we increment the refcount, which is ultimately decremented in
ax25_release().
