ax25: Fix NULL pointer dereference in ax25_kill_by_device

When two ax25 devices attempted to establish connection, the requester use ax25_create(),
ax25_bind() and ax25_connect() to initiate connection. The receiver use ax25_rcv() to
accept connection and use ax25_create_cb() in ax25_rcv() to create ax25_cb, but the
ax25_cb->sk is NULL. When the receiver is detaching, a NULL pointer dereference bug
caused by sock_hold(sk) in ax25_kill_by_device() will happen. The corresponding
fail log is shown below:

===============================================================

This patch add condition check in ax25_kill_by_device(). If s->sk is
NULL, it will goto if branch to kill device.
