I don't know if this three-thread clutch is very probable (or possible at all), but it seems another bug reported by Bernard ("[...] system impossible to reboot with linux-2.6.24-rc5") could have similar source - namely ax25_list_lock held by ax25_kill_by_device() during ax25_disconnect(). It looks like the only place which calls ax25_disconnect() this way, so I guess, it isn't necessary. This patch is breaking the lock for ax25_disconnect().
