Subject: [PATCH 4/4] l2tp: clear tunnel socket field as soon as we release it

L2TP's struct l2tp_tunnel is freed and removed from the tunnel list
by the socket destructor, which may or may not run when we release our
reference to the socket in l2tp_tunnel_delete.  To prevent any chance of
accidentally reusing the socket after it is released, clear out the field
in l2tp_tunnel_delete.
