If no one registered to the l2tp netlink group, genlmsg_multicast_allns
returns -ESRCH. Ignore return code -ESRCH of genlmsg_mulitcast_allns
within tunnel_create and session_create calls.

Sorry for the noise. I only looked into the git tree net-next for
changes of the l2tp module and not lately on the mailinglist.

Best,
