Currently users of hardware vlan accleration need to know whether
the device supports it before generating packets.  However, vlan
acceleration will soon be available in a more flexible manner so
knowing ahead of time becomes much more difficult.  This adds
a software fallback path for vlan packets on devices without the
necessary offloading support, similar to other types of hardware
accleration.

This patch introduces netif_alloc_netdev_queues which is called from
register_device instead of alloc_netdev_mq.  This makes TX queue
allocation symmetric with RX allocation.  Also, queue locks allocation
is done in netdev_init_one_queue.  Change set_real_num_tx_queues to
fail if requested number < 1 or greater than number of allocated
queues.

We tried very hard to remove all possible dev_hold()/dev_put() pairs in
network stack, using RCU conversions.

There is still an unavoidable device refcount change for every dst we
create/destroy, and this can slow down some workloads (routers or some
app servers, mmap af_packet)

We can switch to a percpu refcount implementation, now dynamic per_cpu
infrastructure is mature. On a 64 cpus machine, this consumes 256 bytes
per device.

The rx->count reference is used to track reference counts to the
number of rx-queue kobjects created for the device.  This patch
eliminates initialization of the counter in netif_alloc_rx_queues
and instead increments the counter each time a kobject is created.

Do not set num_rx_queues in netif_set_real_num_rx_queues() some
drivers will increase the real_num_rx_queues later due to a feature
changes or available interrupts increasing. By setting num_rx_queues
here this ends up creating a cap on the number of rx queues
available.

For example the ixgbe driver sets the max number of queues it intends
to use ever then sets the current number in use with the
netif_set_num_{rx|tx}_queues calls. With the current implementation
the number of rx queues gets limited so when a feature such as DCB
or FCoE is enabled the queues are no longer available.

kobjects will only be allocated for real_num_rx_queues so the waste
in memory is minimal.

In various situations, a device provides a packet to our stack and we
drop it before it enters protocol stack :
- softnet backlog full (accounted in /proc/net/softnet_stat)
- bad vlan tag (not accounted)
- unknown/unregistered protocol (not accounted)

We can handle a per-device counter of such dropped frames at core level,
and automatically adds it to the device provided stats (rx_dropped), so
that standard tools can be used (ifconfig, ip link, cat /proc/net/dev)

This is a generalization of commit 8990f468 (net: rx_dropped
accounting), thus reverting it.

For RPS, we create a kobject for each RX queue based on the number of
queues passed to alloc_netdev_mq().  However, drivers generally do not
determine the numbers of hardware queues to use until much later, so
this usually represents the maximum number the driver may use and not
the actual number in use.

For TX queues, drivers can update the actual number using
netif_set_real_num_tx_queues().  Add a corresponding function for RX
queues, netif_set_real_num_rx_queues().

netdev_wait_allrefs() waits that all references to a device vanishes.

It currently uses a _very_ pessimistic 250 ms delay between each probe.
Some users reported that no more than 4 devices can be dismantled per
second, this is a pretty serious problem for some setups.

Most of the time, a refcount is about to be released by an RCU callback,
that is still in flight because rollback_registered_many() uses a
synchronize_rcu() call instead of rcu_barrier(). Problem is visible if
number of online cpus is one, because synchronize_rcu() is then a no op.

When a net device is implementing the select_queue callback and is part of
a bridge, frames coming from the bridge already have a tx queue associated
to the socket (introduced in commit a4ee3ce3,
"net: Use sk_tx_queue_mapping for connected sockets"). The call to
sk_tx_queue_get will then return the tx queue used by the bridge instead
of calling the select_queue callback.

In case of mac80211 this broke QoS which is implemented by using the
select_queue callback. Furthermore it introduced problems with rt2x00
because frames with the same TID and RA sometimes appeared on different
tx queues which the hw cannot handle correctly.

Fix this by always calling select_queue first if it is available and only
afterwards use the socket tx queue mapping.
