Subject: [PATCH 1/2][L2TP]: Fix possible WARN_ON from socket code when UDP socket is closed

If an L2TP daemon closes a tunnel socket while packets are queued in
the tunnel's reorder queue, a kernel warning is logged because the
socket is closed while skbs are still referencing it. The fix is to
purge the queue in the socket's release handler.
