Thanks for the report, Sasha.
Would you please test the patch below?
The ldisc api should really prevent these kinds of errors. I'll prepare
a patch to the tty core which should address the api weakness.

Subject: [PATCH] wan/x25: Fix use-after-free in x25_asy_open_tty()
The N_X25 line discipline may access the previous line discipline's closed
and already-freed private data on open [1].
The tty->disc_data field _never_ refers to valid data on entry to the
line discipline's open() method. Rather, the ldisc is expected to
initialize that field for its own use for the lifetime of the instance
(ie. from open() to close() only).
