[PPP]: L2TP: Fix oops in transmit and receive paths

Changes made on 18-sep to fix skb handling in the pppol2tp driver
broke the transmit and receive paths. Users are only running into this
now because distros are now using 2.6.23 and I must have messed up
when I tested the change.

For receive, we now do our own calculation of how much to pull from
the skb (variable length L2TP header) rather than using
skb_transport_offset(). Also, if the skb isn't a data packet, it must
be passed back to UDP with skb->data pointing to the UDP header.

For transmit, make sure skb->sk is set up because ip_queue_xmit()
needs it.

This patch is for stable 2.6.23 fixes and the mainline.
