[PATCH][AX25] mkiss: ax_bump() locking fix

Hi,

This is unchanged patch previously sent here for testing.
I think it should be applied.

Thanks,

Subject: [PATCH][AX25] mkiss: ax_bump() locking fix

According to one of OOPSes reported by Jann softirq can break
while skb is prepared for netif_rx. The report isn't complete,
so the real reason of the later bug could be different, but
IMHO this locking break in ax_bump is unsafe and unnecessary.
