[AX25] af_ax25: remove sock lock in ax25_info_show()

...
shows that ax25_list_lock and slock-AF_AX25 are taken in different
order: ax25_info_show() takes slock (bh_lock_sock(ax25->sk)) while
ax25_list_lock is held, so reversely to other functions. To fix this
the sock lock should be moved to ax25_info_start(), and there would
be still problem with breaking ax25_list_lock (it seems this "proper"
order isn't optimal yet). But, since it's only for reading proc info
it seems this is not necessary (e.g. ax25_send_to_raw() does similar
reading without this lock too).
So, this patch removes sock lock to avoid deadlock possibility; there
is also used sock_i_ino() function, which reads sk_socket under proper
read lock. Additionally printf format of this i_ino is changed to %lu.
