    PPPoE: Fix flush/close races. · fb64bb56

    Be more careful about the state of pointers during tear-down.
    The "pppoe_dev" field can only be looked at safely while holding socket locks.
    This subsequently allows for the flush_lock to be killed.
    
    We depend on the PPPOX_CONNECTED state to tell us that that those fields are
    valid, so whoever clears that state (pppox_unbind_sock()) is responsible for
    the dev_put() call.
    
    We also have to ensure that we delete_item() on all sockets before they are
    cleaned up.
    
    The need for these changes has been exposed by scenarios wherein namespace
    bindings of ethernet devices change while there are ongoing PPPoE sessions,
    which resulted in oopses due to unusual socket connection termination paths,
    exposing these issues.
