net/x25: Fix overflow when accumulating packets

This commit adds a check to prevent x25_sock.fraglen from overflowing
during packet accumulation. It also resets the fragment length when
purging the fragment queue.

Does this cause the skb to be freed twice?

When x25_queue_rx_frame() frees the skb and returns 1, the caller
x25_state3_machine() leaves its local queued variable as 0 and returns 0.

This 0 value propagates up through x25_process_rx_frame() to callers
like x25_backlog_rcv() or x25_lapb_receive_frame(). Since the return
value indicates the packet was not consumed by the protocol stack, these
upper-level functions will call kfree_skb(skb) again on the already
freed skb.

Would it be safer to return 1 without calling kfree_skb(skb) here so
the callers can handle freeing the unconsumed packet?
