For TEID /= 0, the only reply is a T-PDU of type error indication. There
is no cause specified. So I don't actually have to repeat the check.
TEID == 0 is more interesting, this tells userspace that it tried to
send on an invalid tunnel and should tear it down.

If you like, you can have a look at the userspace code. The relevant piece
is at https://github.com/travelping/gtp_u_kmod/blob/master/src/gtp_u_kmod_port.erl#L231

But be warned, it's written in Erlang ;-)
