Subject: [PATCHv2 net 2/2] l2tp: fix userspace reception on plain L2TP sockets

As pppol2tp_recv() never queues up packets to plain L2TP sockets,
pppol2tp_recvmsg() never returns data to userspace, thus making
the recv*() system calls unusable.

Instead of dropping packets when the L2TP socket isn't bound to a PPP
channel, this patch adds them to its reception queue.
