Arnd Bergmann 77b2283604 x25: remove the BKL
This replaces all instances of lock_kernel in x25
with lock_sock, taking care to release the socket
lock around sleeping functions (sock_alloc_send_skb
and skb_recv_datagram). It is not clear whether
this is a correct solution, but it seem to be what
other protocols do in the same situation.

Includes a fix suggested by Eric Dumazet.

---help---
X.25 is a set of standardized network protocols, similar in scope to
frame relay; the one physical line from your box to the X.25 network
entry point can carry several logical point-to-point connections
(called "virtual circuits") to other computers connected to the X.25
network. Governments, banks, and other organizations tend to use it
to connect to each other or to form Wide Area Networks (WANs). Many
countries have public X.25 networks. X.25 consists of two
protocols: the higher level Packet Layer Protocol (PLP) (say Y here
if you want that) and the lower level data link layer protocol LAPB
(say Y to "LAPB Data Link Driver" below if you want that).
You can read more about X.25 at <http://www.sangoma.com/x25.htm> and
<http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios11/cbook/cx25.htm>.
Information about X.25 for Linux is contained in the files
<file:Documentation/networking/x25.txt> and
<file:Documentation/networking/x25-iface.txt>.
One connects to an X.25 network either with a dedicated network card
using the X.21 protocol (not yet supported by Linux) or one can do
X.25 over a standard telephone line using an ordinary modem (say Y
to "X.25 async driver" below) or over Ethernet using an ordinary
Ethernet card and the LAPB over Ethernet (say Y to "LAPB Data Link
Driver" and "LAPB over Ethernet driver" below).
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
will be called x25. If unsure, say N.
