In case of misconfiguration, a virtual PPP channel might send packets back to their parent PPP interface. This typically happens in misconfigured L2TP setups, where PPP's peer IP address is set with the IP of the L2TP peer. When that happens the system hangs due to PPP trying to recursively lock its xmit path.

This patch detects and breaks recursion in ppp_xmit_process(). This function is a good candidate for the task because it's called early enough after .ndo_start_xmit(), it's always part of the recursion loop and it's on the path of whatever entry point is used to send a packet on a PPP unit. Recursion detection is done using the per-cpu ppp_xmit_recursion variable. Since ppp_channel_push() too locks the channel's xmit path and calls the lower layer's .start_xmit() callback, we need to also increment ppp_xmit_recursion there. However there's no need to check for recursion, as it's out of the recursion loop.
