[ Upstream commit 8a49ad6e89feb5015e77ce6efeb2678947117e20 ]

This patch fixes a (mostly cosmetic) bug introduced by the patch
'ppp: Use SKB queue abstraction interfaces in fragment processing'
found here: http://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg153312.html

The above patch rewrote and moved the code responsible for cleaning
up discarded fragments but the new code does not catch every case
where this is necessary.  This results in some discarded fragments
remaining in the queue, and triggering a 'bad seq' error on the
subsequent call to ppp_mp_reconstruct.  Fragments are discarded
whenever other fragments of the same frame have been lost.
This can generate a lot of unwanted and misleading log messages.

This patch also adds additional detail to the debug logging to
make it clearer which fragments were lost and which other fragments
were discarded as a result of losses. (Run pppd with 'kdebug 1'
option to enable debug logging.)

Use netdev_*() and pr_*().

To preserve existing semantics in cases where KERN_DEBUG is indeed
appropriate, use netdev_printk(KERN_DEBUG, ...)

Convert PPPIOCDETACH to pr_warn() because an unexpected file count is
a serious bug and should be logged with KERN_WARN.

<title>ppp: allow disabling multilink protocol ID compression</title>

Linux would not connect to other router running old version Cisco IOS (12.0).
This is most likely a bug in that version of IOS, since it is fixed
in later versions. As a workaround this patch allows a module parameter
to be set to disable compressing the protocol ID.

See: https://bugzilla.vyatta.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3979

RFC 1990 allows an implementation to formulate MP fragments as if protocol
compression had been negotiated.  This allows us to always send compressed
protocol IDs.  But some implementations don't accept MP fragments with
compressed protocol IDs.  This parameter allows us to interoperate with
them.  The default value of the configurable parameter is the same as the
current behavior:  protocol compression is enabled.  If protocol compression
is disabled we will not send compressed protocol IDs.

This is based on an earlier patch by Bob Gilligan (using a sysctl).
Module parameter is writable to allow for enabling even if ppp
is already loaded for other uses.

Allocating unit from ird might return several error codes
not only -EAGAIN, so it should not be changed and returned
precisely. Same time unit release procedure should be invoked
only if device is unregistering.
