We can only setup multicast address for network device when
net_device_ops->ndo_set_rx_mode is not null.
Some configurations need to add multicast address for net
device, such as netfilter cluster match module.
Add a fake ndo_set_rx_mode function to allow this operation.

The veth device doesn't provide the vlan features,
so TSO for example is disabled and that causes
performance issues when using tagged traffic.
The test topology looks like this:

The netperf results with current veth driver:

commit 2681128f0c (veth: extend device features) added a NULL deref
in veth_stats_one(), as veth_get_stats64() was not testing if the peer
device was setup or not.
At init time, we call dev_get_stats() before veth pair is fully setup.

So we must check if peer was setup in veth_get_stats64()
As pointed out by Ben Hutchings, priv->peer is missing proper
synchronization. Adding RCU protection is a safe and well documented
way to make sure we don't access about to be freed or already
freed data.

This patch removes an unused parameter (src_net) from rtnl_create_link()
method and from the method single invocation, in veth.
This parameter was used in the past when calling
ops->get_tx_queues(src_net, tb) in rtnl_create_link().
The get_tx_queues() member of rtnl_link_ops was replaced by two methods,
get_num_tx_queues() and get_num_rx_queues(), which do not get any
parameter. This was done in commit d40156aa5e by
Jiri Pirko ("rtnl: allow to specify different num for rx and tx queue count").

The ifinfomsg is in there (thanks kaber@ for foreseeing this long time ago),
so take the given ifidex and register netdev with it.
Ben noticed, that this code path previously ignored ifmp->ifi_index and
userland could be passing in garbage. Thus it may now fail occasionally
because the value clashes with an existing interface.
To address this it's assumed that if the caller specifies the ifindex for
the veth master device, then it's aware of this possibility and should
explicitly specify (or set to 0 for auto-assignment) the peer's ifindex as
well. With this the compatibility with old tools not setting ifindex is
preserved.

After the last patch, We are left in a state in which only drivers calling
ether_setup have IFF_TX_SKB_SHARING set (we assume that drivers touching real
hardware call ether_setup for their net_devices and don't hold any state in

course, and need to be fixed up. This patch identifies those drivers, and marks
them as not being able to support the safe transmission of skbs by clearning the
