Subject: [PATCH 1/2] net: fix a concurrency bug in l2tp_tunnel_register()
Git-commit: 69e16d01d1de4f1249869de342915f608feb55d5
Patch-mainline: v5.13-rc1
References: bsc#1205711 CVE-2022-4129

l2tp_tunnel_register() registers a tunnel without fully
initializing its attribute. This can allow another kernel thread
running l2tp_xmit_core() to access the uninitialized data and
then cause a kernel NULL pointer dereference error, as shown below.

Thread 1    Thread 2
//l2tp_tunnel_register()
list_add_rcu(&tunnel->list, &pn->l2tp_tunnel_list);
           //pppol2tp_connect()
           tunnel = l2tp_tunnel_get(sock_net(sk), info.tunnel_id);
           // Fetch the new tunnel
           ...
           //l2tp_xmit_core()
           struct sock *sk = tunnel->sock;
           ...
           bh_lock_sock(sk);
           //Null pointer error happens
tunnel->sock = sk;

Fix this bug by initializing tunnel->sock before adding the
tunnel into l2tp_tunnel_list.
