[PPPOL2TP]: Make locking calls softirq-safe
Fix locking issues in the pppol2tp driver which can cause a kernel crash on SMP boxes. There were two problems:- 1. The driver was violating read_lock() and write_lock() scheduling rules because it wasn't using softirq-safe locks in softirq contexts. So we now consistently use the _bh variants of the lock functions. 2. The driver was calling sk_dst_get() in pppol2tp_xmit() which was taking sk_dst_lock in softirq context. We now call __sk_dst_get(). Signed-off-by: James Chapman <jchapman@katalix.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
