Subject: l2tp: check ps->sock before running pppol2tp_session_ioctl()
From: Guillaume Nault <g.nault@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 5903f594935a3841137c86b9d5b75143a5b7121c ]
When pppol2tp_session_ioctl() is called by pppol2tp_tunnel_ioctl(),
the session may be unconnected. That is, it was created by
pppol2tp_session_create() and hasn't been connected with
pppol2tp_connect(). In this case, ps->sock is NULL, so we need to check
for this case in order to avoid dereferencing a NULL pointer.
