As in xmit path we merely update statistics and free the skb, we
can mark the device with LLTX feature, so that upper layers can
avoid taking the single txq lock on xmit. While at it, also add
missing NETIF_F_SG.

Replace the bh safe variant with the hard irq safe variant.
We need a hard irq safe variant to deal with netpoll transmitting
packets from hard irq context, and we need it in most if not all of
the places using the bh safe variant.
Except on 32bit uni-processor the code is exactly the same so don't
bother with a bh variant, just have a hard irq safe variant that
everyone can use.

There are many drivers calling alloc_percpu() to allocate pcpu stats
and then initializing ->syncp. So just introduce a helper function for them.

In order to enable lockdep on seqcount/seqlock structures, we
must explicitly initialize any locks.
The u64_stats_sync structure, uses a seqcount, and thus we need
to introduce a u64_stats_init() function and use it to initialize
the structure.
This unfortunately adds a lot of fairly trivial initialization code
to a number of drivers. But the benefit of ensuring correctness makes
this worth while.
Because these changes are required for lockdep to be enabled, and the
changes are quite trivial, I've not yet split this patch out into 30-some
separate patches, as I figured it would be better to get the various
maintainers thoughts on how to best merge this change along with
the seqcount lockdep enablement.
Feedback would be appreciated!

It is not nice when netdev is created right after module load and with
some implicit name. So rather change nlmon to use standard rtnl link API.

This patch fixes the following warning introduced in e4fc408e0e99
("packet: nlmon: virtual netlink monitoring device for packet
sockets") reported by Dan Carpenter:
warning: "drivers/net/nlmon.c:31 nlmon_is_valid_mtu()
warn: always true condition '(new_mtu <= ((~0 >> 1))) =>
(s32min-s32max <= s32max)'"
Thus, we should simply remove the test against INT_MAX. Next to that
we also need to explicitly cast the sizeof() case as the comparison
is type promoted to unsigned long so negative values are then
valid instead of invalid. While at it, this also adds a comment about
Netlink and MTUs.

Currently, there is no good possibility to debug netlink traffic that
is being exchanged between kernel and user space. Therefore, this patch
implements a netlink virtual device, so that netlink messages will be
made visible to PF_PACKET sockets. Once there was an approach with a
similar idea [1], but it got forgotten somehow.
I think it makes most sense to accept the "overhead" of an extra netlink
net device over implementing the same functionality from PF_PACKET
sockets once again into netlink sockets. We have BPF filters that can
already be easily applied which even have netlink extensions, we have
RX_RING zero-copy between kernel- and user space that can be reused,
and much more features. So instead of re-implementing all of this, we
simply pass the skb to a given PF_PACKET socket for further analysis.
Another nice benefit that comes from that is that no code needs to be
changed in user space packet analyzers (maybe adding a dissector, but
not more), thus out of the box, we can already capture pcap files of
netlink traffic to debug/troubleshoot netlink problems.
Also thanks goes to Thomas Graf, Flavio Leitner, Jesper Dangaard Brouer.
