The rx_handler field is rcu-protected, but I forgot to use the
proper accessor while refactoring netif_is_ipvlan_port(). Such
function only check the rx_handler value, so it is safe, but we need
to properly read rx_handler via rcu_access_pointer() to avoid sparse
warnings.

the ipvlan device driver defines and uses 2 bits inside the priv_flags
net_device field. Such bits and the related helper are used only
inside the ipvlan device driver, and the core networking does not
need to be aware of them.

This change moves netif_is_ipvlan* helper in the ipvlan driver and
re-implement them looking for ipvlan specific symbols instead of
using priv_flags.

Overall this frees two bits inside priv_flags - and move the following
ones to avoid gaps - without any intended functional change.

<title>ipvlan: use per device spinlock to protect addrs list updates</title>

This changeset moves ipvlan address under RCU protection, using
a per ipvlan device spinlock to protect list mutation and RCU
read access to protect list traversal.

Also explicitly use RCU read lock to traverse the per port
ipvlans list, so that we can now perform a full address lookup
without asserting the RTNL lock.

Overall this allows the ipvlan driver to check fully for duplicate
addresses - before this commit ipv6 addresses assigned by autoconf
via prefix delegation where accepted without any check - and avoid
the following rntl assertion failure still in the same code path:

<title>ipvlan: implement VEPA mode</title>

This is very similar to the Macvlan VEPA mode, however, there is some
difference. IPvlan uses the mac-address of the lower device, so the VEPA
mode has implications of ICMP-redirects for packets destined for its
immediate neighbors sharing same master since the packets will have same
source and dest mac. The external switch/router will send redirect msg.

Having said that, this will be useful tool in terms of debugging
since IPvlan will not switch packets within its slaves and rely completely
on the external entity as intended in 802.1Qbg.

IPvlan has always operated in bridge mode. However there are scenarios
where each slave should be able to talk through the master device but
not necessarily across each other. Think of an environment where each
of a namespace is a private and independant customer. In this scenario
the machine which is hosting these namespaces neither want to tell who
their neighbor is nor the individual namespaces care to talk to neighbor
on short-circuited network path.

This patch implements the mode that is very similar to the 'private' mode
in macvlan where individual slaves can send and receive traffic through
the master device, just that they can not talk among slave devices.

<title>ipvlan: use pernet operations and restrict l3s hooks to master netns</title>

commit 4fbae7d83c98c30efc ("ipvlan: Introduce l3s mode") added
registration of netfilter hooks via nf_register_hooks().

This API provides the illusion of 'global' netfilter hooks by placing the
hooks in all current and future network namespaces.

In case of ipvlan the hook appears to be only needed in the namespace
that contains the ipvlan master device (i.e., usually init_net), so
placing them in all namespaces is not needed.

This switches ipvlan driver to pernet operations, and then only registers
hooks in namespaces where a ipvlan master device is set to l3s mode.

Extra care has to be taken when the master device is moved to another
namespace, as we might have to 'move' the netfilter hooks too.

This is done by storing the namespace the ipvlan port was created in.
On REGISTER event, do (un)register operations in the old/new namespaces.

This will also allow removal of the nf_register_hooks() in a future patch.

This patch adds a tap character device driver that is based on the
IP-VLAN network interface, called ipvtap. An ipvtap device can be created
in the same way as an ipvlan device, using 'type ipvtap', and then accessed
using the tap user space interface.

The patch 009146d117b ("ipvlan: assign unique dev-id for each slave
device.") used ida_simple_get() to generate dev_ids assigned to the
slave devices. However (Eric has pointed out that) there is a shortcoming
with that approach as it always uses the first available ID. This
becomes a problem when a slave gets deleted and a new slave gets added.
The ID gets reassigned causing the new slave to get the same link-local
address. This side-effect is undesirable.

This patch adds a per-port variable that keeps track of the IDs
assigned and used as the stat-base for the IDR api. This base will be
wrapped around when it reaches the MAX (0xFFFE) value possibly on a
busy system where slaves are added and deleted routinely.

IPvlan setup uses one mac-address (of master). The IPv6 link-local
addresses are derived using the mac-address on the link. Lack of
dev-ids makes these link-local addresses same for all slaves including
that of master device. dev-ids are necessary to add differentiation
when L2 address is shared.
