Modify UDP decap to not use the tunnel pointer which comes from the sock's sk_user_data when parsing the L2TP header. By looking up the destination session using only the packet contents we avoid potential UDP 5-tuple aliasing issues which arise from depending on the socket that received the packet. Drop the useless error messages on short packet or on failing to find a session since the tunnel pointer might point to a different tunnel if multiple sockets use the same 5-tuple. Short packets (those not big enough to contain an L2TP header) are no longer counted in the tunnel's invalid counter because we can't derive the tunnel until we parse the l2tp header to lookup the session. l2tp_udp_encap_recv was a small wrapper around l2tp_udp_recv_core which used sk_user_data to derive a tunnel pointer in an RCU-safe way. But we no longer need the tunnel pointer, so remove that code and combine the two functions.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
