l2tp: fix reorder timeout recovery
When L2TP data packet reordering is enabled, packets are held in a
queue while waiting for out-of-sequence packets. If a packet gets
lost, packets will be held until the reorder timeout expires, when we
are supposed to then advance to the sequence number of the next packet
but we don't currently do so. As a result, the data channel is stuck
because we are waiting for a packet that will never arrive - all
packets age out and none are passed.
The fix is to add a flag to the session context, which is set when the
reorder timeout expires and tells the receive code to reset the next
expected sequence number to that of the next packet in the queue.
Tested in a production L2TP network with Starent and Nortel L2TP gear.
