pppol2tp_ioctl() reads sock->sk->sk_user_data and dereferences the
returned l2tp_session without taking a reference on it.
Since the ppp socket/session lifetime rework, session teardown runs
asynchronously and can clear sk_user_data and drop the last session
reference in parallel with ioctl(). This leaves ioctl() with a stale
session pointer and can trigger a use-after-free.
Fix this by using pppol2tp_sock_to_session() in pppol2tp_ioctl() and
dropping the session reference before returning. This matches the
existing getsockopt/setsockopt paths.
Fixes: c5cbaef992d64 ("l2tp: refactor ppp socket/session relationship")
