commit 8d5cf596d10d740b69b5f4bbdb54b85abf75810d started to add statically
allocated ax25_protocol's to list. However kfree() was still in place waiting
for unsuspecting ones on module removal.

Steps to reproduce:

modprobe netrom
rmmod netrom

P.S.: code would benefit greatly from list_add/list_del usage
