    l2tp: do not use sock_hold() in pppol2tp_session_get_sock()

    pppol2tp_session_get_sock() is using RCU, it must be ready
    for sk_refcnt being zero.

    Commit ee40fb2 ("l2tp: protect sock pointer of
    struct pppol2tp_session with RCU") was correct because it
    had a call_rcu(..., pppol2tp_put_sk) which was later removed in blamed commit.

    pppol2tp_recv() can use pppol2tp_session_get_sock() as well.

    Fixes: c5cbaef ("l2tp: refactor ppp socket/session relationship")
