Subject: [PATCH net-next 00/16] l2tp: fix API races discovered by syzbot

This patch series addresses several races with L2TP APIs discovered by
syzbot. While working on this, it became clear that the L2TP code
needed some work to address object lifetime issues. There are no
functional changes.

The set of patches 1-13 in combination fix the following syzbot reports.

9df43faf0 KASAN: use-after-free Read in pppol2tp_connect
6e6a5ec8d general protection fault in pppol2tp_connect
347bd5acd KASAN: use-after-free Read in inet_shutdown
19c09769f WARNING in debug_print_object

In detail:-

 1. Add RCU protection of sk_user_data. Since L2TP hooks on sockets
    opened by userspace, we may race with other socket families that
    attempt to use the same socket. (patches 1-2)

 2. Fix inet_shutdown races when L2TP tunnels close. (patch 3)

 3. Refactor code to address internal object lifetime
    issues. Previously internal refcounts and socket refcounts were
    used inconsistently and led to workarounds to fix specific
    bugs. With the changes made here, we can now fetch the
    tunnel/session context from its socket sk_user_data and fetch the
    socket from the tunnel/session without using other APIs such as
    sockfd_lookup. (patches 4-8)

 4. Refactor pppol2tp_connect to fix several races and split it up to
    improve readability. (patch 9)

 5. Refactor session destroy paths to use a workqueue such that all
    session cleanup is done using common code, regardless of whether
    the session is closed by netlink request or (in the case of ppp)
    its socket closed. (patches 10-13)

 6. Misc cleanups made possible by the refactoring done in this
    series. (patches 14-16)
