Subject: [PATCHv3] pppoe: Lacks DST MAC address check

From: Joakim Tjernlund <Joakim.Tjernlund@...nsmode.se>

A pppoe session is identified by its session ID and MAC address.
Currently pppoe does not check if the received pkg has the correct
MAC address. This is a problem when the eth I/F is in promisc mode
as then any DST MAC address is accepted.

v2 - The MAC address check should encompass all pppoe pkgs,
     not only the relay type.

v3 - Add signoff
