The lwt implementations using net devices can autoload using the
existing mechanism using IFLA_INFO_KIND. However, there's no mechanism
that lwt modules not using net devices can use.
Therefore, add the ability to autoload modules registering lwt
operations for lwt implementations not using a net device so that
users don't have to manually load the modules.
Only users with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability can cause modules to be
loaded, which is ensured by rtnetlink_rcv_msg rejecting non-RTM_GETxxx
messages for users without this capability, and by
lwtunnel_build_state not being called in response to RTM_GETxxx
messages.

dst->output lwt->output and friends.

Add cfg and family arguments to lwt build state functions. cfg is a void
pointer and will either be a pointer to a fib_config or fib6_config
structure. The family parameter indicates which one (either AF_INET
or AF_INET6).
LWT encpasulation implementation may use the fib configuration to build
the LWT state.

Currently, the lwtunnel state resides in per-protocol data. This is
a problem if we encapsulate ipv6 traffic in an ipv4 tunnel (or vice versa).
The xmit function of the tunnel does not know whether the packet has been
routed to it by ipv4 or ipv6, yet it needs the lwtstate data. Moving the
lwtstate data to dst_entry makes such inter-protocol tunneling possible.
As a bonus, this brings a nice diffstat.

This patch adds the capability to redirect dst input in the same way
that dst output is redirected by LWT.
Also, save the original dst.input and and dst.out when setting up
lwtunnel redirection. These can be called by the client as a pass-
through.

In the locally-generated packet path skb->protocol may not be set and
this is required for the lwtunnel encap in order to get the lwtstate.
This would otherwise have been set by ip_output or ip6_output so set
skb->protocol prior to calling the lwtunnel encap
function. Additionally set skb->dev in case it is needed further down
the transmit path.

Any external user should use the registration API instead of

This patch introduces lwtunnel_output function to call corresponding
lwtunnels output function to xmit the packet.
It adds two variants lwtunnel_output and lwtunnel_output6 for ipv4 and
ipv6 respectively today. But this is subject to change when lwtstate will
reside in dst or dst_metadata (as per upstream discussions).

Provides infrastructure to parse/dump/store encap information for
light weight tunnels like mpls. Encap information for such tunnels
is associated with fib routes.
This infrastructure is based on previous suggestions from
Eric Biederman to follow the xfrm infrastructure.
