[ Upstream commit 44073187990d5629804ce0627525f6ea5cfef171 ]
It seems pretty clear ppp layer assumed user space
would always be kind to provide enough data
in their write() to a ppp device.
This patch makes sure user provides at least
2 bytes.
It adds PPP_PROTO_LEN macro that could replace
in net-next many occurrences of hard-coded 2 value.
I replaced only one occurrence to ease backports
to stable kernels.
The bug manifests in the following report:

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
