    [ 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.
