[ Upstream commit c433570458e49bccea5c551df628d058b3526289 ]
There are multiple issues here:
1. After freeing dev->ax25_ptr, we need to set it to NULL otherwise we may use a dangling pointer.
2. There is a race between ax25_setsockopt() and device notifier as reported by syzbot. Close it by holding RTNL lock.
3. We need to test if dev->ax25_ptr is NULL before using it.
