l2tp: Add L2TPv3 IP encapsulation (no UDP) support

This patch adds a new L2TPIP socket family and modifies the core to
handle the case where there is no UDP header in the L2TP
packet. L2TP/IP uses IP protocol 115. Since L2TP/UDP and L2TP/IP
packets differ in layout, the datapath packet handling code needs
changes too. Userspace uses an L2TPIP socket instead of a UDP socket
when IP encapsulation is required.

We can't use raw sockets for this because the semantics of raw sockets
don't lend themselves to the socket-per-tunnel model - we need to

+	  Support for L2TP-over-IP socket family.
+
+	  The L2TPv3 protocol defines two possible encapsulations for
+	  L2TP frames, namely UDP and plain IP (without UDP). This
+	  driver provides a new L2TPIP socket family with which
+	  userspace L2TPv3 daemons may create L2TP/IP tunnel sockets
+	  when UDP encapsulation is not required. When L2TP is carried
+	  in IP packets, it used IP protocol number 115, so this port
+	  must be enabled in firewalls.
+
+	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
+	  will be called l2tp_ip.
