This commit introduces a new data structure used for receiving packets from
netdevs and passing them to dpifs.
The purpose of this change is to allow storing some private data for each
packet. The subsequent commits make use of it.

Using without any parameter, this command list the connection
state of all netdev-dummy devices that are configured to make
active connections.
Optionally, the name of the netdev-dummy device can be supplied
as a parameter.
The states will be displayed as:
"connected": The socket has been connected to the listener.
"disconnected": The socket is not connected.
"unknown": It is not an active dummy device.

The dummy ports thus far only support passive connections. It can
listen for multiple incoming connection requests but not make active
connections. This patch adds support of active stream, so that a
dummy port can be configured with either passive or active connections.
The net result is that dummy ports can now connect to each other,
without being patch ports. This feature will be useful in adding test
cases of future commits.

Update the netdev_class so that struct ofpbuf * is passed to rx_recv()
to provide both the data and size of the data to read a packet into.
On success, update struct ofpbuf size inside netdev_class rx_recv
implementation and return 0. This moves logic from the caller.
On error a positive error code is returned, whereas previously
a negative error code was returned. This is a more common convention.
This patch should not have any behavioural changes.
This patch is in preparation for the netdev-linux variant of rx_recv()
making use of headroom in the struct ofpbuf * parameter to push a VLAN tag
obtained from auxdata.

Until now, netdev_dummy_rx_wait() has only checked whether the receive
queue for the dummy device is currently empty. This has worked OK because
in practice packets were queued to dummy devices only from the same thread
that attempted to receive them. An upcoming commit will use different
threads for these purposes, so this commit switches to a notification
method that works cross-thread.

Previously, we tracked status changes for ofports on a per-device basis.
Each time in the main thread's loop, we would inspect every ofport
to determine whether the status had changed for corresponding devices.
This patch replaces the per-netdev change_seq with a global 'struct seq'
which tracks status change for all ports. In the average case where
ports are not constantly going up or down, this allows us to check the
sequence once per main loop and not poll any ports. In the worst case,
execution is expected to be similar to how it is currently.
In a test environment of 5000 internal ports and 50 tunnel ports with
bfd, this reduces average CPU usage of the main thread from about 40% to
about 35%.

This alters the way rx packets are accounted for by
counting them when they are processed by netdev_dummy_rx_recv(),
which seems to be a common path used by all received packets.
Previously accounting was done earlier, in netdev_dummy_receive(),
however this does not appear to count packets that are received via
a socket.
This resolves packet counting errors reported by the following

We have a call chain like this:
iface_configure_qos() calls
netdev_dump_queues(), which calls
netdev_linux_dump_queues(), which calls back through 'cb' to
qos_unixctl_show_cb(), which calls
netdev_delete_queue(), which calls
netdev_linux_delete_queue().
Both netdev_dump_queues() and netdev_linux_delete_queue() take the same
mutex in the same netdev, which deadlocks.
This commit fixes the problem by getting rid of the callback.
netdev_linux_dump_queue_stats() would benefit from the same treatment but
it's less urgent because I don't see any callbacks from that function that
call back into a netdev function.

We've seen a number of deadlocks in the tree since thread safety was
introduced. So far, all of these are self-deadlocks, that is, a single
thread acquiring a lock and then attempting to re-acquire the same lock
recursively. When this has happened, the process simply hung, and it was
somewhat difficult to find the cause.
POSIX "error-checking" mutexes check for this specific problem (and
others). This commit switches from other types of mutexes to
error-checking mutexes everywhere that we can, that is, everywhere that
we're not using recursive mutexes. This ought to help find problems more
quickly in the future.
There might be performance advantages to other kinds of mutexes in some
cases. However, the existing mutex type choices were just guesses, so I'd
rather go for easy detection of errors until we know that other mutex
types actually perform better in specific cases. Also, I did a quick
microbenchmark of glibc mutex types on my host and found that the
error checking mutexes weren't any slower than the other types, at least
when the mutex is uncontended.

Commit 86f1d0326bd0 (netdev-dummy: Use netdev_get_devices() instead of a
local shash.) caused netdev-dummy functions that iterate over all dummy
devices to iterate only over the ones that have class 'dummy_class'. This
seemed to obviously include all the ones that we want, but in fact
when ovs-vswitch is invoked with --enable-dummy=override, there are more
dummy classes than just dummy_class, which this new form of iteration
skipped over, with various negative consequences that showed up in some
testing.
This commit switches netdev-dummy back to internally tracking its own
dummy devices. It fixes the tests for me.

This is the same lifecycle used in the ofproto provider interface.
Compared to the previous netdev provider interface, it has the

There's no particular reason that netdev_dummy_register() has to care about
the particular OS, except that the tests like to use the special Linux-only
tunnel vport types. But that can be done better, I think, by just always
registering them from netdev_dummy_register() and making that function
idempotent, so that calling it twice under Linux has no additional effect.
This commit implements that solution.

The distinction between struct netdev_dev and struct netdev has always
been confusing. Now that previous commits have eliminated all interesting
state from struct netdev, this commit deletes it and renames struct
netdev_dev to take its place. Now the situation makes much more sense and
I won't have to continue making embarrassed explanations in the future.
