Add the basic packet trap infrastructure that allows device drivers to register their supported packet traps and trap groups with devlink. Each driver is expected to provide basic information about each supported trap, such as name and ID, but also the supported metadata types that will accompany each packet trapped via the trap. The currently supported metadata type is just the input port, but more will be added in the future. For example, output port and traffic class. Trap groups allow users to set the action of all member traps. In addition, users can retrieve per-group statistics in case per-trap statistics are too narrow. In the future, the trap group object can be extended with more attributes, such as policer settings which will limit the amount of traffic generated by member traps towards the CPU. Beside registering their packet traps with devlink, drivers are also expected to report trapped packets to devlink along with relevant metadata. devlink will maintain packets and bytes statistics for each packet trap and will potentially report the trapped packet with its metadata to user space via drop monitor netlink channel. The interface towards the drivers is simple and allows devlink to set the action of the trap. Currently, only two actions are supported: 'trap' and 'drop'. When set to 'trap', the device is expected to provide the sole copy of the packet to the driver which will pass it to devlink. When set to 'drop', the device is expected to drop the packet and not send a copy to the driver. In the future, more actions can be added, such as 'mirror'.
