[AX25]: Potential ax25_uid_assoc-s leaks on module unload.
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The ax25_uid_free call walks the ax25_uid_list and releases entries
from it. The problem is that after the fisrt call to hlist_del_init
the hlist_for_each_entry (which hides behind the ax25_uid_for_each)
will consider the current position to be the last and will return.

Thus, the whole list will be left not freed.
