Gao Feng ddab82821f 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.

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
