We get a static checker warning here on devel kernels:

	drivers/net/hamradio/mkiss.c:560 ax_xmit()
	warn: variable dereferenced before check 'skb' (see line 532)

It turns out that the NULL check can be deleted.

Before the ax25 stack calls dev_queue_xmit it always calls
ax25_type_trans which sets skb->protocol to ETH_P_AX25.

Which means that by looking at the protocol type it is possible to
detect IP packets that have not been munged by the ax25 stack in
ndo_start_xmit and call a function to munge them.

Rename ax25_neigh_xmit to ax25_ip_xmit and tweak the return type and
value to be appropriate for an ndo_start_xmit function.

Update all of the ax25 devices to test the protocol type for ETH_P_IP
and return ax25_ip_xmit as the first thing they do.  This preserves
the existing semantics of IP packet processing, but the timing will be
a little different as the IP packets now pass through the qdisc layer
before reaching the ax25 ip packet processing.

Remove the now unnecessary ax25 neighbour table operations.

AX25 already has it's own private arp cache operations to isolate
it's abuse of dev_rebuild_header to transmit packets.  Add a function
ax25_neigh_construct that will allow all of the ax25 devices to
force using these operations, so that the generic arp code does
not need to.

The two sets of header operations are functionally identical remove

this is check for dev is unnecessary, as we are already checking dev
after allocating it via alloc_netdev, and jumping to label: out
if it is NULL.

Extend alloc_netdev{,_mq{,s}}() to take name_assign_type as argument, and convert
all users to pass NET_NAME_UNKNOWN.

Use del_timer_sync to ensure that the timer is stopped on all CPUs before
the driver exists.

This change was suggested by Thomas Gleixner

Set the return variable to an error code as done elsewhere in the function.

A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
(
if@p1 (\(ret < 0\|ret != 0\))
 { ... return ret; }
|
ret@p1 = 0
)
... when != ret = e1
    when != &ret
*if(...)
{
  ... when != ret = e2
      when forall
 return ret;
}

// </smpl>
