Subject: l2tp: fix race while getting PMTU on PPP pseudo-wire

[ Upstream commit eed4d839b0cdf9d84b0a9bc63de90fd5e1e886fb ]

Use dst_entry held by sk_dst_get() to retrieve tunnel's PMTU.

The dst_mtu(__sk_dst_get(tunnel->sock)) call was racy. __sk_dst_get()
could return NULL if tunnel->sock->sk_dst_cache was reset just before the
call, thus making dst_mtu() dereference a NULL pointer:
