Re: x25_create initializing socket data twice ...

[Andrew Hendry]

Hi Herbert,

On the same path sk_set_owner also gets called twice, I think this
causes double module use count when creating sockets. Module use count
need some attention all over x25.

Im not sure if the fix is as straightforward, the calls are:
sock_init_data(sock,sk) vs
sock_init_data(NULL,sk)

Andrew.
