Good catch, but please use existing code style in this function.

rc = -EDESTADDRREQ;
if (sk->sk_state != TCP_ESTABLISHED)
	goto out;

Also, please add in your commit message bug origin to ease stable team
work (not counting reviewers work)

Bug added in commit 2f16270f41e1 (l2tp: Fix locking in l2tp_ip.c)

Really, given the amount of patches you already sent, you should already
know that.

Thanks
