Draft: CVE-2024-49946: ppp: do not assume bh is held in ppp_channel_bridge_input()

JIRA: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-63598
CVE: CVE-2024-49946

ppp: do not assume bh is held in ppp_channel_bridge_input()

Networking receive path is usually handled from BH handler.
However, some protocols need to acquire the socket lock, and
packets might be stored in the socket backlog is the socket was
owned by a user process.

In this case, release_sock(), __release_sock(), and sk_backlog_rcv()
might call the sk->sk_backlog_rcv() handler in process context.

sybot caught ppp was not considering this case in
ppp_channel_bridge_input() :
