This fixes a regression for blocking connects introduced by commit
4becb7ee5b3d ("net/x25: Fix x25_neigh refcnt leak when x25 disconnect").

The x25->neighbour is already set to "NULL" by x25_disconnect() now,
while a blocking connect is waiting in
x25_wait_for_connection_establishment(). Therefore x25->neighbour must
not be accessed here again and x25->state is also already set to
X25_STATE_0 by x25_disconnect().

Fixes: 4becb7ee5b3d ("net/x25: Fix x25_neigh refcnt leak when x25 disconnect")

If x25_wait_for_connection_establishment() returns because of an interrupting
signal, we are not going to call x25_disconnect().

The case you are fixing only applies _sometimes_ when
x25_wait_for_connection_establishment() returns.  But not always.

That neighbour has to be released at this spot otherwise.

OK, thanks for the hint. So I think the simplest solution would be to 
check
that x25->neighbour is != NULL like this:

diff --git a/net/x25/af_x25.c b/net/x25/af_x25.c
index 0bbb283f23c9..046d3fee66a9 100644

  out_put_neigh:
-       if (rc) {
+       if (rc && x25->neighbour) {
                 read_lock_bh(&x25_list_lock);
                 x25_neigh_put(x25->neighbour);
                 x25->neighbour = NULL;
