hamradio: improve the incomplete fix to avoid NPD
The previous commit 3e0588c291d6 ("hamradio: defer ax25 kfree after unregister_netdev") reorder the kfree operations and unregister_netdev operation to prevent UAF. This commit improves the previous one by also deferring the nullify of the ax->tty pointer. Otherwise, a NULL pointer dereference bug occurs. Partial of the stack trace is shown below. BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000538 RIP: 0010:ax_xmit+0x1f9/0x400 ...
