From: Xiyu Yang <xiyuyang19@fudan.edu.cn> [ Upstream commit f35d12971b4d814cdb2f659d76b42f0c545270b6 ] x25_lapb_receive_frame() invokes x25_get_neigh(), which returns a reference of the specified x25_neigh object to "nb" with increased refcnt. When x25_lapb_receive_frame() returns, local variable "nb" becomes invalid, so the refcount should be decreased to keep refcount balanced. The reference counting issue happens in one path of x25_lapb_receive_frame(). When pskb_may_pull() returns false, the function forgets to decrease the refcnt increased by x25_get_neigh(), causing a refcnt leak. Fix this issue by calling x25_neigh_put() when pskb_may_pull() returns false.
