This adds support for passing a macvtap file descriptor into
vhost-net, much like we already do for tun/tap.

Most of the new code is taken from the respective patch
in the tun driver and may get consolidated in the future.

Add __percpu sparse annotations to net drivers.

These annotations are to make sparse consider percpu variables to be
in a different address space and warn if accessed without going
through percpu accessors.  This patch doesn't affect normal builds.

In order to use macvlan with qemu and other tools that require
a tap file descriptor, the macvtap driver adds a small backend
with a character device with the same interface as the tun
driver, with a minimum set of features.

Macvtap interfaces are created in the same way as macvlan
interfaces using ip link, but the netif is just used as a
handle for configuration and accounting, while the data
goes through the chardev. Each macvtap interface has its
own character device, simplifying permission management
significantly over the generic tun/tap driver.

This makes it possible to hook into the macvlan driver
from another kernel module. In particular, the goal is
to extend it with the macvtap backend that provides
a tun/tap compatible interface directly on the macvlan
device.
