Subject: ppp: don't override sk->sk_state in pppoe_flush_dev()

commit e6740165b8f7f06d8caee0fceab3fb9d790a6fed upstream.

Since commit 2b018d57ff18 ("pppoe: drop PPPOX_ZOMBIEs in pppoe_release"),
pppoe_release() calls dev_put(po->pppoe_dev) if sk is in the
PPPOX_ZOMBIE state. But pppoe_flush_dev() can set sk->sk_state to
PPPOX_ZOMBIE _and_ reset po->pppoe_dev to NULL. This leads to the
following oops:

pppoe_flush_dev() has no reason to override sk->sk_state with
PPPOX_ZOMBIE. pppox_unbind_sock() already sets sk->sk_state to
PPPOX_DEAD, which is the correct state given that sk is unbound and
po->pppoe_dev is NULL.
