I don't believe this will fix anything. pppox_unbind_sock() already
sets sk->sk_state when necessary.

I suspect the problem goes with actions performed on the underlying
interface (MAC address, MTU or link state update). This triggers
pppoe_flush_dev(), which cleans up the device without announcing it
in sk->sk_state.

Can you pleas try the following patch?
