    selftests: net: l2tp: ensure required modules are loaded
    
    The net kselftest l2tp.sh fails when the required l2tp kernel modules
    are not loaded beforehand: the test aborts in setup(), which runs under
    "set -e", and not a single testcase is executed:
    
      # ./l2tp.sh
      RTNETLINK answers: No such file or directory
      Error talking to the kernel
    
    The kernel does try to load the modules on demand, but
    l2tp_netlink/l2tp_eth/l2tp_ip/l2tp_ip6 modules are blacklisted and
    cannot be autoloaded.
    See https://access.redhat.com/articles/3760101 for the rationale.
    
    So load the required modules explicitly by name before running the
    tests, and skip the test if they are not available.
    
    Loading l2tp_eth and l2tp_ip6 is enough, module dependencies pull in
    l2tp_netlink, l2tp_core and l2tp_ip.
    
    With the modules loaded l2tp.sh passes all of its 16 testcases.
