The previous commit 4becb7ee5b3d ("net/x25: Fix x25_neigh refcnt leak when
x25 disconnect") adds decrement of refcount of x25->neighbour and sets
x25->neighbour to NULL in x25_disconnect(), but when the link layer is
terminating, it could cause null-ptr-deref bugs in x25_sendmsg(),
x25_recvmsg() and x25_connect(). One of the bugs is shown below.
x25_link_terminated() | x25_recvmsg()
x25_kill_by_neigh() | ...
x25_disconnect() | lock_sock(sk)
... | ...
x25->neighbour = NULL //(1) |
... | x25->neighbour->extended //(2)
We set NULL to x25->neighbour in position (1) and dereference
x25->neighbour in position (2), which could cause null-ptr-deref bug.
This patch adds lock_sock(sk) in x25_disconnect() in order to synchronize
with x25_sendmsg(), x25_recvmsg() and x25_connect(). What`s more, the sk
held by lock_sock() is not NULL, because it is extracted from x25_list
and uses x25_list_lock to synchronize.

I am sorry, this patch has a problem. I will send the correct version later.
