l2tp: fix races in tunnel creation
l2tp_tunnel_create() inserts the new tunnel into the namespace's tunnel list and sets the socket's ->sk_user_data field, before returning it to the caller. Therefore, there are two ways the tunnel can be accessed and freed, before the caller even had the opportunity to take a reference. In practice, syzbot could crash the module by closing the socket right after a new tunnel was returned to pppol2tp_create(). This patch moves tunnel registration out of l2tp_tunnel_create(), so that the caller can safely hold a reference before publishing the tunnel. This second step is done with the new l2tp_tunnel_register() function, which is now responsible for associating the tunnel to its socket and for inserting it into the namespace's list. While moving the code to l2tp_tunnel_register(), a few modifications have been done. First, the socket validation tests are done in a helper function, for clarity. Also, modifying the socket is now done after having inserted the tunnel to the namespace's tunnels list. This will allow insertion to fail, without having to revert theses modifications in the error path (a followup patch will check for duplicate tunnels before insertion). Either the socket is a kernel socket which we control, or it is a user-space socket for which we have a reference on the file descriptor. In any case, the socket isn't going to be closed from under us.
