Subject: [PATCH net] l2tp: hold tunnel in pppol2tp_connect()

Use l2tp_tunnel_get() in pppol2tp_connect() to ensure the tunnel isn't
going to disappear while processing the rest of the function.

Fixes: fd558d186df2 ("l2tp: Split pppol2tp patch into separate l2tp and ppp parts")
Signed-off-by: Guillaume Nault <g.nault@...halink.fr>

Note: in case of backporting to -stable, this patch only makes sense if
f3c66d4e144a ("l2tp: prevent creation of sessions on terminated tunnels")
is already present in the tree, as we need this issue to be fixed
before fixing the current one.

The reason is that when connecting a session, we don't only depend on
the tunnel, but also on its socket. Therefore, holding a reference on
the tunnel is not enough, we also have to make sure that it's not going
to drop its socket before the session is registered.
