[PATCH net v4 4/4] ax25: Change kfree() in ax25_dev_free() to ax25_dev_put()

From: Duoming Zhou
Date: Tue May 07 2024 - 02:02:02 EST


The object "ax25_dev" is managed by reference counting. Thus it should
not be directly released by a kfree() call in ax25_dev_free(). Replace
it with a ax25_dev_put() call instead.

Fixes: d01ffb9eee4a ("ax25: add refcount in ax25_dev to avoid UAF bugs")
