[PPPOL2TP]: Make locking calls softirq-safe
Fix locking issues in the pppol2tp driver which can cause a kernel
crash on SMP boxes. There were two problems:-
1. The driver was violating read_lock() and write_lock() scheduling
rules because it wasn't using softirq-safe locks in softirq
contexts. So we now consistently use the _bh variants of the lock
functions.
2. The driver was calling sk_dst_get() in pppol2tp_xmit() which was
taking sk_dst_lock in softirq context. We now call __sk_dst_get().
