If 'fd' is negative, l2tp_tunnel_create() creates a tunnel socket using the configuration passed in 'tcfg'. Currently, pppol2tp_connect() sets the relevant fields to zero, tricking l2tp_tunnel_create() into setting up an unusable kernel socket.
We can't set 'tcfg' with the required fields because there's no way to get them from the current connect() parameters. So let's restrict kernel sockets creation to the netlink API, which is the original use case.
