Could you test this diff?

With that diff applied, there is no kernel panic, but I see the same
refcount errors that I saw before the latest series of patches from
Duoming:

Wait, which panic is this?  The NULL dereference introduce by the
"ax25_dev" vs "res" typo?

  refcount_t: decrement hit 0; leaking memory.
  refcount_t: underflow; use-after-free.

Hm...  Is there a missing netdev_hold() in ax25_bind() on the
"User already set interface with SO_BINDTODEVICE" path?  That would
fit with the commit 9fd75b66b8f6 ("ax25: Fix refcount leaks caused by
ax25_cb_del()") which introduced the bug.

I'm not really sure I understand how netdev_hold() works.

(My patch here is correct, but apparently that's not the bug).
