Subject: [PATCH v3 6/7] pppoatm: don't send frames on not-ready vcc

Patches "atm: detach protocol before closing vcc"
and "pppoatm: allow assign only on a connected socket" fixed
common cases where the pppoatm_send() crashes while sending
frame to not-ready vcc. However there are still some other cases
where we can send frames to vcc, which is flagged as ATM_VF_CLOSE
(for instance after vcc_release_async()) or it's opened but not
ready yet.

Now pppoatm_send(), like vcc_sendmsg(), checks for vcc flags that
indicate that vcc is not ready.
