[PATCH net] ax25: Fix ax25 session cleanup problem in ax25_release

From: Duoming Zhou
Date: Wed May 25 2022 - 07:30:06 EST


The timers of ax25 are used for correct session cleanup.
If we use ax25_release() to close ax25 sessions and
ax25_dev is not null, the del_timer_sync() functions in
ax25_release() will execute. As a result, the sessions
could not be cleaned up correctly, because the timers
have stopped.

This patch adds a device_up flag in ax25_dev in order to
judge whether the device is up. If there are sessions to
be cleaned up, the del_timer_sync() in ax25_release() will
not execute. As a result the sessions could be cleaned up
correctly.
