Add a check to ensure that `x25_sock.fraglen` does not overflow.
The `fraglen` also needs to be resetted when purging `fragment_queue` in
`x25_clear_queues()`.

Changes in v2:
- Use USHRT_MAX instead of sizeof(fraglen) nonsense
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260327-x25_fraglen-v1-1-9fc751d4f754@dev.tdt.de

net/x25: Fix overflow when accumulating packets
This commit adds a check to prevent x25_sock.fraglen from overflowing
during packet accumulation. It also resets the fragment length when
purging the fragment queue.

Does this cause the skb to be freed twice?
When x25_queue_rx_frame() frees the skb and returns 1, the caller
x25_state3_machine() leaves its local queued variable as 0 and returns 0.
This 0 value propagates up through x25_process_rx_frame() to callers
like x25_backlog_rcv() or x25_lapb_receive_frame(). Since the return
value indicates the packet was not consumed by the protocol stack, these
upper-level functions will call kfree_skb(skb) again on the already
freed skb.
Would it be safer to return 1 without calling kfree_skb(skb) here so
the callers can handle freeing the unconsumed packet?

This is already fixed / changed in the v4 patch set.
