ppp: define reusable device creation functions
Move PPP device initialisation and registration out of
ppp_create_interface().
This prepares code for device registration with rtnetlink.
While there, simplify the prototype of ppp_create_interface():
* Since ppp_dev_configure() takes care of setting file->private_data,
there's no need to return a ppp structure to ppp_unattached_ioctl()
anymore.
* The unit parameter is made read/write so that ppp_create_interface()
can tell which unit number has been assigned.
