[PATCH] x_25: Adding a null pointer dereference check to the x25_accept() function

To avoid the problem of dereferencing the null pointer in the x25_accept()
function, you need to add an additional check that the pointer skb is
not equal to NULL.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
