Ensure that the tunnel's socket is always extant while the tunnel

(l2tp_tunnel_delete).

Since the tunnel's socket is now guaranteed to exist if the tunnel
exists, we no longer need to use sockfd_lookup via l2tp_sock_to_tunnel
to derive the tunnel from the socket since this is always
sk_user_data.

The tunnel object gains a new closing flag which is protected by a
spinlock. The existing dead flag which is accessed using
test_and_set_bit APIs is no longer used so is removed.
