In order to exercise and verify notifiers' locking assumptions,
register dummy notifiers (via register_netdevice_notifier_dev_net).
Share notifier event handler that enforces the assumptions with
lock_debug.c (rename and export rtnl_net_debug_event as
netdev_debug_event). Add ops lock asserts to netdev_debug_event.

Almost all drivers except bond and nsim had same check if device
can perform XFRM offload on that specific packet. The check was that
packet doesn't have IPv4 options and IPv6 extensions.

In NIC drivers, the IPv4 HELEN comparison was slightly different, but
the intent was to check for the same conditions. So let's chose more
strict variant as a common base.

<title>netdevsim: call napi_schedule from a timer context</title>

<id>bf3624cf1c3708284c53ed99a1c43f2e104dc2dd</id>
<content type='text'>
The netdevsim driver was experiencing NOHZ tick-stop errors during packet
transmission due to pending softirq work when calling napi_schedule().
This issue was observed when running the netconsole selftest, which
triggered the following error message:

  NOHZ tick-stop error: local softirq work is pending, handler #08!!!

To fix this issue, introduce a timer that schedules napi_schedule()
from a timer context instead of calling it directly from the TX path.

Create an hrtimer for each queue and kick it from the TX path,
which then schedules napi_schedule() from the timer context.

<title>netdevsim: add HDS feature</title>

HDS options(tcp-data-split, hds-thresh) have dependencies between other
features like XDP. Basic dependencies are checked in the core API.
netdevsim is very useful to check basic dependencies.

The default tcp-data-split mode is UNKNOWN but netdevsim driver
returns ENABLED when ethtool dumps tcp-data-split mode.
The default value of HDS threshold is 0 and the maximum value is 1024.

ethtool shows like this.

ethtool -g eni1np1
Ring parameters for eni1np1:
Pre-set maximums:
...
HDS thresh:             1024
Current hardware settings:
...
TCP data split:         on
HDS thresh:             0

ethtool -G eni1np1 tcp-data-split on hds-thresh 1024
ethtool -g eni1np1
Ring parameters for eni1np1:
Pre-set maximums:
...
HDS thresh:             1024
Current hardware settings:
...
TCP data split:         on

Add NAPI support to netdevim, similar to veth.

* Add a nsim_rq rx queue structure to hold a NAPI instance and a skb
  queue.
* During xmit, store the skb in the peer skb queue and schedule NAPI.
* During napi_poll(), drain the skb queue and pass up the stack.
* Add assoc between rxq and NAPI instance using netif_queue_set_napi().
