Re: [PATCH net-next] l2tp: Avoid schedule while atomic in exit_net

While destroying a network namespace that contains a L2TP tunnel a
"BUG: scheduling while atomic" can be observed.

Enabling lockdep shows that this is happening because l2tp_exit_net()
is calling l2tp_tunnel_closeall() (via l2tp_tunnel_delete()) from
within an RCU critical section.

 ...

This bug can easily be reproduced with a few steps:

 $ sudo unshare -n bash  # Create a shell in a new namespace
 # ip link set lo up
 # ip addr add 127.0.0.1 dev lo
 # ip l2tp add tunnel remote 127.0.0.1 local 127.0.0.1 tunnel_id 1 \
    peer_tunnel_id 1 udp_sport 50000 udp_dport 50000
 # ip l2tp add session name foo tunnel_id 1 session_id 1 \
    peer_session_id 1
 # ip link set foo up
 # exit  # Exit the shell, in turn exiting the namespace
 $ dmesg
 ...
 [942121.089216] BUG: scheduling while atomic: kworker/u16:3/13872/0x00000200
 ...

To fix this, move the call to l2tp_tunnel_closeall() out of the RCU
critical section, and instead call it from l2tp_tunnel_del_work(), which
is running from the l2tp_wq workqueue.

Applied and queued up for -stable, thanks.
