*_pdp_find() from gtp_encap_recv() would trigger a crash when a peer
sends GTP packets while creating new GTP device.

gtp_encap_enable() should be called after gtp_hastable_new() otherwise
*_pdp_find() will access the uninitialized hash table.

v2:
 - Leave out_hashtable: label for clarity (Jakub).
 - Fix code and comment styles.
