ppp: ensure file->private_data can't be overridden
Locking ppp_mutex must be done before dereferencing file->private_data, otherwise it could be modified before ppp_unattached_ioctl() takes the lock. This could lead ppp_unattached_ioctl() to override ->private_data, thus leaking reference to the ppp_file previously pointed to. v2: lock all ppp_ioctl() instead of just checking private_data in ppp_unattached_ioctl(), to avoid ambiguous behaviour.
