ppp: Fix a scheduling-while-atomic bug in del_chan The PPTP set the pptp_sock_destruct as the sock's sk_destruct, it would trigger this bug when __sk_free is invoked in atomic context, because of the call path pptp_sock_destruct->del_chan->synchronize_rcu. Now move the synchronize_rcu to pptp_release from del_chan. This is the only one case which would free the sock and need the synchronize_rcu. The following is the panic I met with kernel 3.3.8, but this issue should exist in current kernel too according to the codes.
