[PATCH net v3] l2tp: fix race condition in l2tp_tunnel_delete

[Sabrina Dubroca]

If we try to delete the same tunnel twice, the first delete operation
does a lookup (l2tp_tunnel_get), finds the tunnel, calls
l2tp_tunnel_delete, which queues it for deletion by
l2tp_tunnel_del_work.

The second delete operation also finds the tunnel and calls
l2tp_tunnel_delete. If the workqueue has already fired and started
running l2tp_tunnel_del_work, then l2tp_tunnel_delete will queue the
same tunnel a second time, and try to free the socket again.

Add a dead flag to prevent firing the workqueue twice. Then we can
remove the check of queue_work's result that was meant to prevent that
race but doesn't.

Reproducer:

    ip l2tp add tunnel tunnel_id 3000 peer_tunnel_id 4000 local 192.168.0.2 remote 192.168.0.1 encap udp udp_sport 5000 udp_dport 6000
    ip l2tp add session name l2tp1 tunnel_id 3000 session_id 1000 peer_session_id 2000
    ip link set l2tp1 up
    ip l2tp del tunnel tunnel_id 3000
    ip l2tp del tunnel tunnel_id 3000

v3: only prevent double deletion, drop checks during lookups

v2: as Tom Parkin explained, we can't remove the tunnel from the
    per-net list from netlink. v2 uses only a dead flag, and adds
    corresponding checks during lookups

Applied and queued up for -stable, thanks.
