lockdep violation could indeed be fixed like that, but LLTX seems more
appropriate.

But there is still a bug because skb->len is used after 
l2tp_xmit_skb(session, skb, session->hdr_len);

There is also a bug in l2tp_core.c, because it assumes RX path is not
reentrant. That should be fixed eventually.

I believe we could avoid percpu stuf and new locking, adding the
following unions in net_device_stats. It seems enough to have machine
long words stats, no need to force 64bit stats on 32bit arches.
