3.16.50-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Guillaume Nault <g.nault@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 9ee369a405c57613d7c83a3967780c3e30c52ecc upstream.
Sessions must be fully initialised before calling
l2tp_session_add_to_tunnel(). Otherwise, there's a short time frame
where partially initialised sessions can be accessed by external users.
Fixes: dbdbc73b4478 ("l2tp: fix duplicate session creation")

[bwh: Backported to 3.16: keep using l2tp_session_inc_refcount()]
