[ Upstream commit b0cf029234f9b18e10703ba5147f0389c382bccc ]

When an internally generated frame is handled by rose_xmit(),
rose_route_frame() is called:

if (!rose_route_frame(skb, NULL)) {
dev_kfree_skb(skb);
stats->tx_errors++;
return NETDEV_TX_OK;
}

We have the same code sequence in Net/Rom where an internally generated
frame is handled by nr_xmit() calling nr_route_frame(skb, NULL).
However, in this function NULL argument is tested while it is not in
rose_route_frame().
Then kernel panic occurs later on when calling ax25cmp() with a NULL
ax25_cb argument as reported many times and recently with syzbot.

We need to test if ax25 is NULL before using it.

Testing:
Built kernel with CONFIG_ROSE=y.
