[RFC net-next] pppoe: remove session socket receive support

No known userspace PPPoE implementation reads from an AF_PPPOX
socket. In particular, pppd uses the socket only to establish a
session and obtain a generic PPP channel with PPPIOCGCHAN. Packet I/O
then uses /dev/ppp.

Before this change, packets received before PPPIOCGCHAN set
PPPOX_BOUND were queued on sk_receive_queue. Since no known
implementation consumed them, they remained there until socket
destruction and unnecessarily consumed memory.

Pass every matched session packet directly to ppp_input(). On a
successful connect, the channel is registered before the socket lock
is released. Generic PPP can therefore queue early packets until
userspace attaches /dev/ppp, preserving packets that arrive between
connect() and PPPIOCGCHAN.

Replace pppoe_recvmsg() with sock_no_recvmsg(). Like PPTP, omit the
poll callback because the socket no longer receives packets. Remove
pppoe_destruct() because the receive queue is no longer used.
