Duoming Zhou d01ffb9eee ax25: add refcount in ax25_dev to avoid UAF bugs
If we dereference ax25_dev after we call kfree(ax25_dev) in
ax25_dev_device_down(), it will lead to concurrency UAF bugs.
There are eight syscall functions suffer from UAF bugs, include
ax25_bind(), ax25_release(), ax25_connect(), ax25_ioctl(),
ax25_getname(), ax25_sendmsg(), ax25_getsockopt() and
ax25_info_show().

One of the concurrency UAF can be shown as below:

  (USE)                       |    (FREE)
                              |  ax25_device_event
                              |    ax25_dev_device_down
ax25_bind                     |    ...
  ...                         |      kfree(ax25_dev)
  ax25_fillin_cb()            |    ...
    ax25_fillin_cb_from_dev() |
  ...                         |

The root cause of UAF bugs is that kfree(ax25_dev) in
ax25_dev_device_down() is not protected by any locks.
When ax25_dev, which there are still pointers point to,
is released, the concurrency UAF bug will happen.

This patch introduces refcount into ax25_dev in order to
guarantee that there are no pointers point to it when ax25_dev
is released.
