tun: Allow to skip filter on attach

There's a small problem with sk-filters on tun devices. Consider
an application doing this sequence of steps:

fd = open("/dev/net/tun");
ioctl(fd, TUNSETIFF, { .ifr_name = "tun0" });
ioctl(fd, TUNATTACHFILTER, &my_filter);
ioctl(fd, TUNSETPERSIST, 1);
close(fd);

At that point the tun0 will remain in the system and will keep in
mind that there should be a socket filter at address '&my_filter'.

If after that we do

fd = open("/dev/net/tun");
ioctl(fd, TUNSETIFF, { .ifr_name = "tun0" });

we most likely receive the -EFAULT error, since tun_attach() would
try to connect the filter back. But (!) if we provide a filter at
address &my_filter, then tun0 will be created and the "new" filter
would be attached, but application may not know about that.

This may create certain problems to anyone using tun-s, but it's
critical problem for c/r -- if we meet a persistent tun device
with a filter in mind, we will not be able to attach to it to dump
its state (flags, owner, address, vnethdr size, etc.).

The proposal is to allow to attach to tun device (with TUNSETIFF)
w/o attaching the filter to the tun-file's socket. After this
attach app may e.g clean the device by dropping the filter, it
doesn't want to have one, or (in case of c/r) get information
about the device with tun ioctls.
