l2tp: hold reference on tunnels printed in pppol2tp proc file

Use l2tp_tunnel_get_nth() instead of l2tp_tunnel_find_nth(), to be safe
against concurrent tunnel deletion.

Unlike sessions, we can't drop the reference held on tunnels in
pppol2tp_seq_show(). Tunnels are reused across several calls to
pppol2tp_seq_start() when iterating over sessions. These iterations
need the tunnel for accessing the next session. Therefore the only safe
moment for dropping the reference is just before searching for the next
tunnel.

Normally, the last invocation of pppol2tp_next_tunnel() doesn't find
any new tunnel, so it drops the last tunnel without taking any new
reference. However, in case of error, pppol2tp_seq_stop() is called
directly, so we have to drop the reference there.

Fixes: fd558d18
