Subject: [PATCH] l2tp: Fix oops in pppol2tp_xmit

When transmitting L2TP frames, we derive the outgoing interface's UDP
checksum hardware assist capabilities from the tunnel dst dev. This
can sometimes be NULL, especially when routing protocols are used and
routing changes occur. This patch just checks for NULL dst or dev
pointers when checking for netdev hardware assist features.
