l2tp: fix l2tp_eth module loading

commit 9f775ead5e570e7e19015b9e4e2f3dd6e71a5935 upstream.

The l2tp_eth module crashes if its netlink callbacks are run when the
pernet data aren't initialised.

We should normally register_pernet_device() before the genl callbacks.
However, the pernet data only maintain a list of l2tpeth interfaces,
and this list is never used. So let's just drop pernet handling
instead.
