l2tp_tunnel_find_nth() is unsafe: no reference is held on the returned
tunnel, therefore it can be freed whenever the caller uses it.
This patch defines l2tp_tunnel_get_nth() which works similarly, but
also takes a reference on the returned tunnel. The caller then has to
drop it after it stops using the tunnel.

Convert netlink dumps to make them safe against concurrent tunnel
deletion.

During the entire invocation of l2tp_nl_cmd_tunnel_dump(), the RTNL
mutex is held.

Therefore no tunnel configuration changes may occur and the tunnel
object will persist and is safe to access.

The netlink dump should be safe as-is.

Were you actually able to trigger a crash or KASAN warning or is
this purely from code inspection?

Yes, but only for updates done with the genl API. For L2TPv2, the
tunnel can be created by connecting a PPPOL2TP and a UDP socket.
Closing these sockets destroys the tunnel without any RTNL
synchronisation.

Yes, I have a KASAN use-after-free for this case. I remember I saw a
few complains about stack traces in commit messages, so I've stopped
putting them there. I can paste (stripped) traces again. Just let me
know if you have any preference.

Right, that's the part I missed.  Thanks for explaining.
