Avoid "Features changed" message and ndo_set_features call on device
registration caused by automatic enabling of GSO and GRO. Driver should
have enabled hardware offloads it set in features, so the ndo_set_features()
is not needed at registration time.

Fix netdev_update_features() messages on register time by moving
the call further in register_netdevice(). When
netdev->reg_state != NETREG_REGISTERED, netdev_name() returns
"(unregistered netdevice)" even if the dev's name is already filled.

commit 9b5e383c11 (net: Introduce
unregister_netdevice_many()) left an active LIST_HEAD() in
rollback_registered(), with possible memory corruption.
Even if device is freed without touching its unreg_list (and therefore
touching the previous memory location holding LISTE_HEAD(single), better
close the bug for good, since its really subtle.
(Same fix for default_device_exit_batch() for completeness)

Eric W. Biderman and Michal Hocko reported various memory corruptions
that we suspected to be related to a LIST head located on stack, that
was manipulated after thread left function frame (and eventually exited,
so its stack was freed and reused).
Eric Dumazet suggested the problem was probably coming from commit
443457242b (net: factorize
sync-rcu call in unregister_netdevice_many)
This patch fixes __dev_close() and dev_close() to properly deinit their
respective LIST_HEAD(single) before exiting.

This allows avoiding multiple writes to the initial __refcnt.
The most simplest cases of wanting an initial reference of "1"
in ipv4 and ipv6 have been converted, the rest have been left
along and kept at the existing "0".

Introduce NETIF_F_RXCSUM to replace device-private flags for RX checksum
offload. Integrate it with ndo_fix_features.
ethtool_op_get_rx_csum() is removed altogether as nothing in-tree uses it.

This introduces a new framework to handle device features setting.
It consists of:
- new fields in struct net_device:
+ hw_features - features that hw/driver supports toggling
+ wanted_features - features that user wants enabled, when possible
- new netdev_ops:
+ feat = ndo_fix_features(dev, feat) - API checking constraints for
enabling features or their combinations
+ ndo_set_features(dev) - API updating hardware state to match
changed dev->features
- new ethtool commands:
+ ETHTOOL_GFEATURES/ETHTOOL_SFEATURES: get/set dev->wanted_features
and trigger device reconfiguration if resulting dev->features
changed
+ ETHTOOL_GSTRINGS(ETH_SS_FEATURES): get feature bits names (meaning)

This allows to enable GRO even if RX csum is disabled. GRO will not
be used for packets without hardware checksum anyway.

For testing and debugging purposes it is useful to be able to disable
hardware acceleration of RFS without disabling RFS altogether. Since
this is a similar feature to 'n-tuple' flow steering through the
ethtool API, test the same feature flag that controls that.

If the root qdisc for a net device is mqprio, and the driver's
ndo_setup_tc() operation dynamically adds and remvoes TX queues,
netif_set_real_num_tx_queues() will be called during device
unregistration to remove the extra TX queues when the qdisc is
destroyed. Currently this causes the corresponding kobjects
to be leaked, and the device's reference count never drops to 0.

dev->master is now tightly connected to bonding driver. This patch makes
this pointer more general and ready to be used by others.
- netdev_set_master() - bond specifics moved to new function
netdev_set_bond_master()
- introduced netif_is_bond_slave() to check if device is a bonding slave

commit a512b92 adds sysfs entry for net device group, but
before this commit, tun also uses group sysfs, so after this
commit checkin, kernel warns like this:
sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/devices/virtual/net/vnet0/group'
Since tun has used this for years, rename sysfs under tun might
break existing userspace, so rename group sysfs entry for net device
group is a better choice.
