Subject: [PATCH 1/1] ppp: Fix one deadlock issue of PPP when reentrant

From: Gao Feng <fgao@...ai8.com>

PPP channel holds one spinlock before send frame. But the skb may
select the same PPP channel with wrong route policy. As a result,
the skb reaches the same channel path. It tries to get the same
spinlock which is held before. Bang, the deadlock comes out.

Now add one lock owner to avoid it like xmit_lock_owner of
netdev_queue. Check the lock owner before try to get the spinlock.
If the current cpu is already the owner, it means ppp finds there is
one reentrant and returns directly. If not owner and hold the spinlock
successfully, it sets owner with current CPU ID.

The following is the panic stack of 3.3.8. But the same issue
should be in the upstream too.

[<ffffffff810a7c55>] sys_write+0x45/0x90
[<ffffffff815689e2>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b

The call flow is like this.
ppp_write->ppp_channel_push->start_xmit->select inappropriate route
.... -> dev_hard_start_xmit->ppp_start_xmit->ppp_xmit_process->
ppp_push. Now ppp_push tries to get the same spinlock which is held
in ppp_channel_push.

Although the PPP deadlock is caused by inappropriate route policy
with L2TP, I think it is not accepted the PPP module would cause kernel
deadlock with wrong route policy.
