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.
