[X25]: Add missing x25_neigh_put

Author: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>

The function x25_get_neigh increments a reference count.  At the point of
the second goto out, the result of calling x25_get_neigh is only stored in
a local variable, and thus no one outside the function will be able to
decrease the reference count.  Thus, x25_neigh_put should be called before
the return in this case.

The problem was found using the following semantic match.

)
