4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Guillaume Nault <g.nault@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 5e6a9e5a3554a5b3db09cdc22253af1849c65dff upstream.
l2tp_session_find() doesn't take any reference on the returned session.
Therefore, the session may disappear while sending the notification.
Use l2tp_session_get() instead and decrement session's refcount once
the notification is sent.
Fixes: 33f72e6f0c67 ("l2tp : multicast notification to the registered listeners")
