commit fc6d01ff9ef03b66d4a3a23b46fc3c3d8cf92009 upstream.

The previous commit 7ec02f5ac8a5 ("ax25: fix NPD bug in ax25_disconnect")
move ax25_disconnect into lock_sock() in order to prevent NPD bugs. But
there are race conditions that may lead to null pointer dereferences in
ax25_heartbeat_expiry(), ax25_t1timer_expiry(), ax25_t2timer_expiry(),
ax25_t3timer_expiry() and ax25_idletimer_expiry(), when we use
ax25_kill_by_device() to detach the ax25 device.

One of the race conditions that cause null pointer dereferences can be
shown as below:

      (Thread 1)                    |      (Thread 2)
ax25_connect()                      |
 ax25_std_establish_data_link()     |
  ax25_start_t1timer()              |
   mod_timer(&ax25->t1timer,..)     |
                                    | ax25_kill_by_device()
   (wait a time)                    |  ...
                                    |  s->ax25_dev = NULL; //(1)
   ax25_t1timer_expiry()            |
    ax25->ax25_dev->values[..] //(2)|  ...
     ...                            |

We set null to ax25_cb->ax25_dev in position (1) and dereference
the null pointer in position (2).

The corresponding fail log is shown below:
===============================================================
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000050

This patch moves ax25_disconnect() before s->ax25_dev = NULL
and uses del_timer_sync() to delete timers in ax25_disconnect().
If ax25_disconnect() is called by ax25_kill_by_device() or
ax25->ax25_dev is NULL, the reason in ax25_disconnect() will be
equal to ENETUNREACH, it will wait all timers to stop before we
set null to s->ax25_dev in ax25_kill_by_device().
