I agree that this patch should fix the above splat.

I generally review l2tp patches proposed for -stable trees (although
not in time). If a patch has been ported to 3.16.y and is missing in
another tree, then it should be safe to port it there too.

Yes, I think it'd make sense to port these patches.
