ppp: use IFF_NO_QUEUE in virtual interfaces

For PPPoE, PPTP, and PPPoL2TP, the start_xmit() function directly
forwards packets to the underlying network stack and never returns
anything other than 1. So these interfaces do not require a qdisc,
and the IFF_NO_QUEUE flag should be set.

Introduces a direct_xmit flag in struct ppp_channel to indicate when
IFF_NO_QUEUE should be applied. The flag is set in ppp_connect_channel()
for relevant protocols.

While at it, remove the usused latency member from struct ppp_channel.
