SRU Justification
=================

[Impact]

When a user dump pdp contextes, it cannot associate them with existing
gtp interfaces. Thus, the dump is unusable.

This problem has been fixed in the upstream commit b274e47d9e3f ("gtp:
add GTPA_LINK info to msg sent to userspace"):
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=b274e47d9e3f

[Test Case]

Create several gtp interfaces and setup PDP contextes on them. Perform a
dump with the genl command GTP_CMD_GETPDP.

[Regression Potential]

The patch affects only the gtp driver and is quite trivial. Thus, the
potential regressions are limited to this area and low.

[Miscellaneous]

This fix is queued for all the stable trees so we'll get this fix sooner
or later; but because it's a one liner fix, we might as well SRU to get
this sooner.
