Hi,

This is a new patch to replace my first one...
(Anybody on this list should know by now that I always send at least two
versions of each patch ;)

It does the following things:
-fixes waitqueue oops on interrupted socket call
-Adds refcounting to the ax25_cb struct with two new functions:
ax25_cb_hold() and ax25_cb_put()
-skb allocation uses dev->hard_header_len instead of some predicted worst
case.
-The ax25_cb list uses hlists

The biggest change is the hlist one combined with the refcounting.
This makes ax25 look somewhat like the other network stack as Arnaldo
sugested.
