Patch is applicable to kernels 2.6.26 and following.

Tested with a 2.6.26 stable kernel:
without this patch, a session in a persistent tunnel cannot be
established again (connect failed: -17), and the pppol2tp kernel module
cannot be removed because still considered in use after stopping all
userspace daemons.
