ax25: Use kernel universal linked list to implement ax25_dev_list

[ Upstream commit a7d6e36b9ad052926ba2ecba3a59d8bb67dabcb4 ]

The origin ax25_dev_list implements its own single linked list,
which is complicated and error-prone. For example, when deleting
the node of ax25_dev_list in ax25_dev_device_down(), we have to
operate on the head node and other nodes separately.

This patch uses kernel universal linked list to replace original
ax25_dev_list, which make the operation of ax25_dev_list easier.

We should do "dev->ax25_ptr = ax25_dev;" and "dev->ax25_ptr = NULL;"
while holding the spinlock, otherwise the ax25_dev_device_up() and
ax25_dev_device_down() could race.
