In prevision to add new UAPI for hwtstamp we will be limited to the struct
ethtool_ts_info that is currently passed in fixed binary format through the
ETHTOOL_GET_TS_INFO ethtool ioctl. It would be good if new kernel code
already started operating on an extensible kernel variant of that
structure, similar in concept to struct kernel_hwtstamp_config vs struct
hwtstamp_config.

Since struct ethtool_ts_info is in include/uapi/linux/ethtool.h, here
we introduce the kernel-only structure in include/linux/ethtool.h.
The manual copy is then made in the function called by ETHTOOL_GET_TS_INFO.

if they are proper values:

Multiple network devices that support hardware timestamping appear to have
common behavior with regards to timestamp handling. Implement common Tx
hardware timestamping statistics in a tx_stats struct_group. Common Rx
hardware timestamping statistics can subsequently be implemented in a
rx_stats struct_group for ethtool_ts_stats.

<title>ethtool: netlink: always pass genl_info to .prepare_data</title>

We had a number of bugs in the past because developers forgot
to fully test dumps, which pass NULL as info to .prepare_data.
.prepare_data implementations would try to access info-&gt;extack
leading to a null-deref.

Now that dumps and notifications can access struct genl_info
we can pass it in, and remove the info null checks.

<title>ethtool: link up ethnl_header_policy as a nested policy</title>

To get the most out of parsing by the core, and to allow dumping
full policies we need to specify which policy applies to nested
attrs. For headers it's ethnl_header_policy.

$ sed -i 's@\(ETHTOOL_A_.*HEADER\].*=\) { .type = NLA_NESTED },@\1\n\t\tNLA_POLICY_NESTED(ethnl_header_policy),@' net/ethtool/*

Since ethtool uses strict attribute validation there's no need
to initialize all attributes in policy tables. 0 is NLA_UNSPEC
which is going to be rejected. Remove the NLA_REJECTs.

Similarly attributes above maxattrs are rejected, so there's
no need to always size the policy tables to ETHTOOL_A_..._MAX.

v2: - new patch

Wire up policies for get commands in struct nla_policy of the ethtool
family. Make use of genetlink code attr validation and parsing, as well
as allow dumping policies to user space.

For every ETHTOOL_MSG_*_GET:
 - add 'ethnl_' prefix to policy name
 - add extern declaration in net/ethtool/netlink.h
 - wire up the policy &amp; attr in ethtool_genl_ops[].
 - remove .request_policy and .max_attr from ethnl_request_ops.

Obviously core only records the first "layer" of parsed attrs
so we still need to parse the sub-attrs of the nested header
attribute.

v2:
 - merge of patches 1 and 2 from v1
 - remove stray empty lines in ops
 - also remove .max_attr

Implement TSINFO_GET request to get timestamping information for a network
device. This is traditionally available via ETHTOOL_GET_TS_INFO ioctl
request.

Move part of ethtool_get_ts_info() into common.c so that ioctl and netlink
code use the same logic to get timestamping information from the device.

v3: use "TSINFO" rather than "TIMESTAMP", suggested by Richard Cochran
