l2tp: don't use l2tp_tunnel_find() in l2tp_ip and l2tp_ip6



Using l2tp_tunnel_find() in l2tp_ip_recv() is wrong for two reasons:

  * It doesn't take a reference on the returned tunnel, which makes the
    call racy wrt. concurrent tunnel deletion.

  * The lookup is only based on the tunnel identifier, so it can return
    a tunnel that doesn't match the packet's addresses or protocol.

For example, a packet sent to an L2TPv3 over IPv6 tunnel can be
delivered to an L2TPv2 over UDPv4 tunnel. This is worse than a simple
cross-talk: when delivering the packet to an L2TP over UDP tunnel, the
corresponding socket is UDP, where ->sk_backlog_rcv() is NULL. Calling
sk_receive_skb() will then crash the kernel by trying to execute this
callback.

And l2tp_tunnel_find() isn't even needed here. __l2tp_ip_bind_lookup()
properly checks the socket binding and connection settings. It was used
as a fallback mechanism for finding tunnels that didn't have their data
path registered yet. But it's not limited to this case and can be used
to replace l2tp_tunnel_find() in the general case.

Fix l2tp_ip6 in the same way.
