That sounds like a good idea, I'll commit the following:

commit fb764c5b742fdab5615f4a1bac9f43df73599ce3
Author: David S. Miller <davem@...emloft.net>

    pppoe: Fix socket leak.
    
    Move SKB trim before we lookup the socket so we don't have to
    put it on failure.
    
    Based upon an initial patch by Jarek Poplawski and suggestions
    from Herbert Xu.
