[PATCH 3.16 001/114] Revert "ax25: add link layer header validation function"

[Ben Hutchings]

3.16.36-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ben Hutchings <ben@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

This reverts commit ea47781c26510e5d97f80f9aceafe9065bd5e3aa, which was
commit ea47781c26510e5d97f80f9aceafe9065bd5e3aa upstream.  It is
pointless unless af_packet calls the new function.
