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.
