Subject: [PATCH 3.2 73/95] l2tp: don't mask errors in pppol2tp_setsockopt()

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

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

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

commit 364700cf8fd54f54ad08313464105a414e3bccb7 upstream.

pppol2tp_setsockopt() unconditionally overwrites the error value
returned by pppol2tp_tunnel_setsockopt() or
pppol2tp_session_setsockopt(), thus hiding errors from userspace.

Fixes: fd558d186df2 ("l2tp: Split pppol2tp patch into separate l2tp and ppp parts")
