Since errors are propagated all the way up to the caller, propagate
possible extack of the caller all the way down to the notifier block
callback.

Currently all users of FIB notifier only cares about events in init_net.
Later in this patchset, users get interested in other namespaces too.
However, for every registered block user is interested only about one
namespace. Make the FIB notifier registration per-netns and avoid
unnecessary calls of notifier block for other namespaces.

Ideally, header files under include/linux shouldn't be adding
includes of other headers, in anticipation of their consumers,
but just the headers needed for the header itself to pass
parsing with CPP.
The module.h is particularly bad in this sense, as it itself does
include a whole bunch of other headers, due to the complexity of
module support.
Since fib_notifier.h is not going into a module struct looking for
specific fields, we can just let it know that module is a struct,
just like about 60 other include/linux headers already do.

Add extack to fib_notifier_info and plumb through stack to
call_fib_rule_notifiers, call_fib_entry_notifiers and
call_fib6_entry_notifiers. This allows notifer handlers to
return messages to user.

In order for an interface to forward packets according to the kernel
multicast routing table, it must be configured with a VIF index according
to the mroute user API. The VIF index is then used to refer to that
interface in the mroute user API, for example, to set the iif and oifs of
an MFC entry.
In order to allow drivers to be aware and offload multicast routes, they
have to be aware of the VIF add and delete notifications.
Due to the fact that a specific VIF can be deleted and re-added pointing to
another netdevice, and the MFC routes that point to it will forward the
matching packets to the new netdevice, a driver willing to offload MFC
cache entries must be aware of the VIF add and delete events in addition to
MFC routes notifications.

When a listener registers to the FIB notification chain it receives a
dump of the FIB entries and rules from existing address families by
invoking their dump operations.
While we call into these modules we need to make sure they aren't
removed. Do that by increasing their reference count before invoking
their dump operations and decrease it afterwards.

The FIB notification chain is currently soley used by IPv4 code.
However, we're going to introduce IPv6 FIB offload support, which
requires these notification as well.
As explained in commit c3852ef7f2 ("ipv4: fib: Replay events when
registering FIB notifier"), upon registration to the chain, the callee
receives a full dump of the FIB tables and rules by traversing all the
net namespaces. The integrity of the dump is ensured by a per-namespace
sequence counter that is incremented whenever a change to the tables or
rules occurs.
In order to allow more address families to use the chain, each family is
expected to register its fib_notifier_ops in its pernet init. These
operations allow the common code to read the family's sequence counter
as well as dump its tables and rules in the given net namespace.
Additionally, a 'family' parameter is added to sent notifications, so
that listeners could distinguish between the different families.
Implement the common code that allows listeners to register to the chain
and for address families to register their fib_notifier_ops. Subsequent
patches will implement these operations in IPv6.
In the future, ipmr and ip6mr will be extended to provide these
notifications as well.
