Subject: [PATCH] [PPPOL2TP] Add missing sock_put() in pppol2tp_release()

pppol2tp_sock_to_session() do sock_hold() if the session to release is
not NULL.

Signed-off-by: Frédéric Moulins <frederic.moulins@...atis.com>

Patch is applicable to kernels 2.6.26 and following.

Tested with a 2.6.26 stable kernel:
without this patch, a session in a persistent tunnel cannot be
established again (connect failed: -17), and the pppol2tp kernel module
cannot be removed because still considered in use after stopping all
userspace daemons.
