Subject: [PATCH net-next 2/3] pppoe: bypass sk_receive_skb for PPPOX_BOUND sockets

When a PPPoE session socket is in PPPOX_BOUND state, the RX path is
fully synchronous and does not require socket receive queueing or
callbacks. Avoid calling sk_receive_skb(), which acquires the socket
lock and adds overhead.

Call ppp_input() directly to reduce lock contention and improve
performance on RX path.
