Now pppoatm_send(), like vcc_sendmsg(), checks for vcc flags that
indicate that vcc is not ready.
And what locking prevents the flag from being set immediately after we
check it?
nothing, this patch should fix this. 

The vcc_sendmsg() uses lock_sock(sk). This lock is used by
vcc_release(), so vcc_destroy_socket() will not be called between
check and during ->send(). The vcc_release_async() sets ATM_VF_CLOSE,
but it should be safe to call ->send() after it, because
vcc->dev->ops->close() is not called.

The pppoatm_send() is called with bottom halfs disabled, so
bh_lock_sock() should be used instead of lock_sock().
