Subject: x25: Do not reference freed memory.
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=96642d42f076101ba98866363d908cab706d156c;p=linux-beck.git

x25: Do not reference freed memory.

In x25_link_free(), we destroy 'nb' before dereferencing
'nb->dev'.  Don't do this, because 'nb' might be freed
by then.
