In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:ax25: rcu protect dev->ax25_ptrsyzbot found a lockdep issue [1].We should remove ax25 RTNL dependency in ax25_setsockopt()This should also fix a variety of possible UAF in ax25.[1]WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
