The x25_disconnect function in x25_subr.c would decrease the refcount of
"x25->neighbour" (struct x25_neigh) and reset this pointer to NULL.
However, the x25_rx_call_request function in af_x25.c, which is called
when we receive a connection request, does not increase the refcount when
it assigns the pointer.
Fix this issue by increasing the refcount of "struct x25_neigh" in
x25_rx_call_request.
This patch fixes frequent kernel crashes when using AF_X25 sockets.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
