We can't rely on PPPOX_ZOMBIE to decide whether to clear po->pppoe_dev.
PPPOX_ZOMBIE can be set by pppoe_disc_rcv() even when po->pppoe_dev is
NULL. So we have no guarantee that (sk->sk_state & PPPOX_ZOMBIE) implies
(po->pppoe_dev != NULL).
Since we're releasing a PPPoE socket, we want to release the pppoe_dev
if it exists and reset sk_state to PPPOX_DEAD, no matter the previous
value of sk_state. So we can just check for po->pppoe_dev and avoid any
assumption on sk->sk_state.
Fixes: 2b018d57ff18 ("pppoe: drop PPPOX_ZOMBIEs in pppoe_release")

Applied and queued up for -stable, thanks.
Somehow this commit (1acea4f6ce1b1c0941438aca75dd2e5c6b09db60) did not
make it into Linux 4.2.6, 4.1.13, or 3.18.24. But I don't find it in
your stable bundle on Patchwork either. Has this patch been
inadvertently "lost in translation"?
Best regards,
