The ax25_addr_ax25dev() exists a reference count leak issue of the
object "ax25_dev" and the ax25_dev_device_down() exists reference
count leak issues of the objects "ax25_dev" and "net_device".

I find that such a wording for the introduction of adjustments needs
further improvements.

How do you think about to offer changes for the affected two function
implementations as separate update steps?
