[PATCH net-next 1/3] ppp: use file.dead to check channel unregistration

[Qingfang Deng <qingfang.deng@linux.dev>]

Currently, ppp_generic checks if pch->chan is NULL to determine if a
channel is being unregistered. However, struct ppp_file already has a
'dead' flag for this purpose, which is used by ppp units and other
parts of the driver.

Switch all pch->chan NULL checks to pch->file.dead checks. In
ppp_unregister_channel, move the setting of pch->file.dead inside the
locked section to ensure atomicity and remove the now redundant
pch->chan = NULL assignment.

This is a preparation to eventually unify 'struct ppp_channel' and
'struct channel' into a single struct.
