Subject: [24/26] l2tp: Fix PPP header erasure and memory leak

3.2.48-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Guillaume Nault <g.nault@...halink.fr>

[ Upstream commit 55b92b7a11690bc377b5d373872a6b650ae88e64 ]

Copy user data after PPP framing header. This prevents erasure of the
added PPP header and avoids leaking two bytes of uninitialised memory
at the end of skb's data buffer.
