PATCH 1/1 Fix pppol2tp getsockname()

While testing L2TP functionality, I came across a bug in getsockname(). The IP address returned within the pppol2tp_addr's addr memember was not being set to the IP address in use. This bug is caused by using inet_sk() on the wrong socket (the L2TP socket rather than the underlying UDP socket), and was likely introduced during the addition of L2TPv3 support.

Please resubmit this freshly with a proper signoff.

The patch is incorrect.

This is supposed to return the socket info of the pppol2tp socket, not the tunnel socket. It is used by pppd's pppol2tp plugin to check that the fd supplied is the right socket type.

Sorry, my mistake. This patch is fine.
