openvswitch: do not ignore netdev errors when creating tunnel vports
The creation of a tunnel vport (geneve, gre, vxlan) brings up a
corresponding netdev, a multi-step operation which can fail.
For example, changing a vxlan vport's netdev state to 'up' binds the
vport's socket to a UDP port - if the binding fails (e.g. due to the
port being in use), the error is currently ignored giving the
appearance that the tunnel vport creation completed successfully.

The changes from upstream version of rtnl_delete_link were only there to support
Linux 2.6.33 or older. The removal of this support makes it identical to
upstream version as of 4.6.

upstream dev_fill_metadata_dst() uses upstream tunnel-dst which could
be different from OVS defined tun-dst. Therefore use fill-meta-data
function from compat layer.

upstream tunnel egress info is retrieved using ndo_fill_metadata_dst.
Since we do not have it on older kernel we need to keep vport operation
to do same on these kernels.
Following patch try to merge these to operations into one to avoid code
duplication.
This commit backports fc4099f1 ("openvswitch:
Fix egress tunnel info.")

Currently OVS out of tree datapath supports a large number of kernel
versions. From 2.6.32 to 4.3 and various distribution-specific
kernels. But at this point major features are only available on more
recent kernels. For example, stateful services are only available
starting in kernel 3.10 and STT is available on starting with 3.5.
Since these features are becoming essential to many OVS deployments,
and the effort of maintaining the backports is high. We have decided
to drop support for older kernel. Following patch drops supports
for kernel older than 3.10.

Following patch adds support for lwtunnel to OVS datapath.
With this change OVS datapath detect lwtunnel support and
make use of new APIs if available. On older kernel where the
support is not there the backported tunnel modules are used.
These backported tunnel devices acts as lwtunnel devices.
I tried to keep backported module same as upstream for easier
bug-fix backport. Since STT and LISP are not upstream OVS
always needs to use respective modules from tunnel compat layer.
To make it work on kernel 4.3 I have converted STT and LISP
modules to lwtunnel API model.
lwtunnel make use of skb-dst to pass tunnel information to the
tunnel module. On older kernel this is not possible. So the in
case of old kernel metadata ref is stored in OVS_CB and direct
call to tunnel transmit function is made by respective tunnel
vport modules. Similarly on receive side tunnel recv directly
call netdev-vport-receive to pass the skb to OVS.
Major backported components include:
Geneve, GRE, VXLAN, ip_tunnel, udp-tunnels GRO.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 has backported the netdev RX
handler facility so use the netdev_rx_handler_register as
an indicator.
The handler prototype changed between 2.6.36 and 2.6.39
since there could be backports in any stage, don't look
at the kernel version, but at the prototype.

With the latest change of separating vports into their own modules,
it is necessary to export all public functions in linux/compat/
directory. Also, we should prefix functions which replace the
upstream ones with 'rpl_' and others with 'ovs_'. This will prevent
the linker error when vport modules use those functions in the future.
e.g., the to be merged vport-stt module will use the flex_array_*
functions which are not currently exported.

Move compat code to netdev_rx_handler_register() definition.
It also adds type safety for netdev-hook.
