Add module options for console and fb_defio

Convert fb_defio on/off switch to module option and add console option.

>From the command line, pass options to modprobe
modprobe udlfb defio=1 console=1

Or for permanent option, create file like /etc/modprobe.d/options with text
options udlfb defio=1 console=1

Accepted options:

fb_defio	Make use of the fb_defio (CONFIG_FB_DEFERRED_IO) kernel
		module to track changed areas of the framebuffer by page faults.
        	Standard fbdev applications that use mmap but that do not
		report damage, may be able to work with this enabled.
		Disabled by default because of overhead and other issues.

console		Allow fbcon to attach to udlfb provided framebuffers. This
		is disabled by default because fbcon will aggressively consume
		the first framebuffer it finds, which isn't usually what the
		user wants in the case of USB displays.

Support writing default/backup edid via /sys/class/graphics/fb?/edid

Writing a backup edid blob to the 'edid' file will cause udlfb to
attempt to re-read the edid from hardware.
If we still don't have a good edid, it will use the backup edid instead.
The intent is to 1) enable user-supplied edid
2) enable udev rules to backup the last known good edid
for a device, and then provide that edid as a backup for all future starts

Enhance EDID and mode table handling

* Adds support for lower-end DL chips on higher-end monitors
* Adds support for using fbdev standard EDID parsing and handling
* Adds support for more dynamic reallocation of framebuffer, based on new EDID

Queries EDID from hardware with several retries then
queries DisplayLink chip for max pixel area via vendor descriptor.
Uses existing fbdev mode handling service funcations to build mode list
of common modes between adapter and monitor.
This enables lower-end chips (e.g. DL-125) to successfully pick a compatible
mode on higher end monitors (e.g. whose default mode is over 1280x1024).
Reallocate framebuffer if necessary in response to new max mode.

Revamp reference handling and synchronization for unload/shutdown

Udlfb is a "virtual" framebuffer device that really exists on
two separate stacks: at the bottom of the framebuffer interface,
and on top of USB.  During unload, there's no guarantee which
one will tear down first. So reference counting must be solid
to handle all possibilities and not access anything once its gone.

The vis information structure is used in a way that it can be transfered
directly as packet. It still had to be copied into a skb because of an
extra buffer used for the actual preparation of the data. This is
unnecessary and can be replaced by a simple clone instead of an full
copy before each send.

This makes also the send_raw_packet function obsolete.

All originator messages are send through aggregation buffers. Those
buffers can directly be allocated as skb to reduce the cost of
allocation an extra buffer and copying them to a new allocated skb
directly before it gets send.

Now only the skb must be cloned in case of send_packet_to_if as it gets
called by send_packet for each interface. Non-primary ogms must not
cloned at all because they will only send once and the forward_packet
structure is freed by send_outstanding_bat_packet afterwards.

batman-adv tries to resend broadcasts on all interfaces up to three
times. For each round and each interface it must provide a skb which
gets consumed by the sending function.

It is unnecessary to copy the data of each broadcast because the actual
data is either not shared or already copied by add_bcast_packet_to_list.
So it is enough to just copy the skb control data

my_skb_push provided an easy way to allocate enough headroom in
situation were we don't have enough space left and move the data pointer
to the new position, but we didn't checked wether we are allowed to
write to the new pushed header. This is for example a problem when the
skb was cloned and thus doesn't have a private data part.

my_skb_head_push now replaces my_skb_push by using skb_cow_head to
provide only a large enough, writable header without testing for the
rest of the (maybe shared) data. It will also move the data pointer
using skb_push when skb_cow_head doesn't fail.

This should give us enough flexibility in situation were skbs will be
queued by underlying layers and still doesn't unnecessarily copy the
data in situations when the skb was consumed right away during
dev_queue_xmit.

Batman-adv globally registered the batman-adv packet type and installed
a hook to batman_skb_recv(). Each interface receiving a packet with that
type would end up in this function which then had to loop through all
batman-adv internal interface structures to find the its meta data. The
more interfaces a system had the longer the loops might take. Each and
every packet goes through this function making it a performance critical
loop.

This patch installs the hook for each activated interface. The called
batman_skb_recv() can distinguish these calls, therefore avoiding the
loop through the interface structures.

This patch implements a simple layer2 fragmentation to allow traffic
exchange over network interfaces with a MTU smaller than 1500 bytes. The
fragmentation splits the big packets into two parts and marks the frames
accordingly. The receiving end buffers the packets to reassemble the
orignal packet before passing it to the higher layers. This feature
makes it necessary to modify the batman-adv encapsulation for unicast
packets by adding a sequence number, flags and the originator address.
This modifcation is part of a seperate packet type for fragemented
packets to keep the original overhead as low as possible. This patch
enables the feature by default to ensure the data traffic can travel
through the network. But it also prints a warning to notify the user
about the performance implications.

Note: Fragmentation should be avoided at all costs since it has a
dramatic impact on the performance, especially when it comes wifi
networks. Instead of a single packet, 2 packets have to be sent! Not
only valuable airtime is wasted but also packetloss decreases the
throughput. A link with 50% packetloss and fragmentation enabled is
pretty much unusable.

[2nd version -- melded all three together]

1) There is a missing return or goto statement in one fail path in
sasem_probe, so that the code contiues its normal execution (and
unlocks a mutex twice). Fix that by jumping to the right place.

Anyway the code is very broken on its fail paths and there are many
leaks. But that's a different story.

2) There is an omitted unlock in one fail path in vfd_write, jump to
the right place to unlock the lock.

3) In the probe function, there is one more error where the lock is
not unlocked. Fix that by jumping to the proper place.
