For this one too, it looks like tunnel->sock is NULL. This time, it's
l2tp_session_free() that breaks, but the root issue is probably the
same: l2tp_tunnel_destruct() removes the tunnel concurrently, most
likely because the session was created on a closing tunnel (as was
suggested by James in another message). So here too, commit
f3c66d4e144a ("l2tp: prevent creation of sessions on terminated tunnels")
might be a good start.
