This replaces all instances of lock_kernel in x25
with lock_sock, taking care to release the socket
lock around sleeping functions (sock_alloc_send_skb
and skb_recv_datagram). It is not clear whether
this is a correct solution, but it seem to be what
other protocols do in the same situation.

Includes a fix suggested by Eric Dumazet.
