Subject: [PATCH 3.16 116/204] l2tp: check ps->sock before running
 pppol2tp_session_ioctl()

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

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

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

commit 5903f594935a3841137c86b9d5b75143a5b7121c upstream.

When pppol2tp_session_ioctl() is called by pppol2tp_tunnel_ioctl(),
the session may be unconnected. That is, it was created by
pppol2tp_session_create() and hasn't been connected with
pppol2tp_connect(). In this case, ps->sock is NULL, so we need to check
for this case in order to avoid dereferencing a NULL pointer.
