Introduce TC sample offload

Background
----------

The tc sample action allows user to sample traffic matched by tc
classifier. The sampling consists of choosing packets randomly and
sampling them using psample module.

The tc sample parameters include group id, sampling rate and packet's
truncation (to save kernel-user traffic).

Sample in TC SW
---------------

User must specify rate and group id for sample action, truncate is
optional.

tc filter add dev enp4s0f0_0 ingress protocol ip prio 1 flower	\
	src_mac 02:25:d0:14:01:02 dst_mac 02:25:d0:14:01:03	\
	action sample rate 10 group 5 trunc 60			\
	action mirred egress redirect dev enp4s0f0_1

The tc sample action kernel module 'act_sample' will call another
kernel module 'psample' to send sampled packets to userspace.

MLX5 sample HW offload - MLX5 driver patches
--------------------------------------------

The sample action is translated to a goto flow table object
destination which samples packets according to the provided
sample ratio. Sampled packets are duplicated. One copy is
processed by a termination table, named the sample table,
which sends the packet to the eswitch manager port (that will
be processed by software).

The second copy is processed by the default table which executes
the subsequent actions. The default table is created per <vport,
chain, prio> tuple as rules with different prios and chains may
overlap.

For example, for the following typical flow table:

+-------------------------------+
+       original flow table     +
+-------------------------------+
+         original match        +
+-------------------------------+
+ sample action + other actions +
+-------------------------------+

We translate the tc filter with sample action to the following HW model:

        +---------------------+
        + original flow table +
        +---------------------+
        +   original match    +
        +---------------------+
                   |
                   v

+------------------------------------------------+
+                    sample ratio                +
+------------------------------------------------+
+    sample table id    |    default table id    +
+------------------------------------------------+
           |                            |
           v                            v
+-----------------------------+  +----------------------------------------+
+        sample table         +  + default table per <vport, chain, prio> +
+-----------------------------+  +----------------------------------------+
+ forward to management vport +  +            original match              +
+-----------------------------+  +----------------------------------------+
                                 +            other actions               +
                                 +----------------------------------------+

Flow sampler object
-------------------

Hardware introduces flow sampler object to do sample. It is a new
destination type. Driver needs to specify two flow table ids in it.
One is sample table id. The other one is the default table id.
Sample table samples the packets according to the sample rate and
forward the sampled packets to eswitch manager port. Default table
finishes the subsequent actions.

Group id and reg_c0
-------------------

Userspace program will take different actions for sampled packets
according to tc sample action group id. So hardware must pass group
id to software for each sampled packets. In Paul Blakey's "Introduce
connection tracking offload" patch set, reg_c0 lower 16 bits are used
for miss packet chain id restore. We convert reg_c0 lower 16 bits to
a common object pool, so other features can also use it.

Since sample group id is 32 bits, create a 16 bits object id to map
the group id and write the object id to reg_c0 lower 16 bits. reg_c0
can only be used for matching. Write reg_c0 to flow_tag, so software
can get the object id via flow_tag and find group id via the common
object pool.

Sampler restore handle
----------------------

Use common object pool to create an object id to map sample parameters.
Allocate a modify header action to write the object id to reg_c0 lower
16 bits. Create a restore rule to pass the object id to software. So
software can identify sampled packets via the object id and send it to
userspace.

Aggregate the modify header action, restore rule and object id to a
sample restore handle. Re-use identical sample restore handle for
the same object id.

Send sampled packets to userspace
---------------------------------

The destination for sampled packets is eswitch manager port, so
representors can receive sampled packets together with the group id.
Driver will send sampled packets and group id to userspace via psample.

Until very recently, the usbnet framework only had support functions
for devices which reported the link speed by explicitly querying the
PHY over a MDIO interface. However, the cdc_ether devices send
notifications when the link state or link speeds change and do not
expose the PHY (or modem) directly.

Support funtions (e.g. usbnet_get_link_ksettings_internal()) to directly
query state recorded by the cdc_ether driver were added in a previous patch.

Instead of cdc_ether spewing the link speed into the dmesg buffer,
record the link speed encoded in these notifications and tell the
usbnet framework to use the new functions to get link speed/state.

User space can now get the most recent link speed/state using ethtool.

v4: added to series since cdc_ether uses same notifications
    as cdc_ncm driver.

Until very recently, the usbnet framework only had support functions
for devices which reported the link speed by explicitly querying the
PHY over a MDIO interface. However, the cdc_ncm devices send
notifications when the link state or link speeds change and do not
expose the PHY (or modem) directly.

Support funtions (e.g. usbnet_get_link_ksettings_internal()) to directly
query state recorded by the cdc_ncm driver were added in a previous patch.

So instead of cdc_ncm spewing the link speed into the dmesg buffer,
record the link speed encoded in these notifications and tell the
usbnet framework to use the new functions to get link speed/state.
Link speed/state is now available via ethtool.

This is especially useful given all current RTL8156 devices emit
a connection/speed status notification every 32ms and this would
fill the dmesg buffer. This implementation replaces the one
recently submitted in de658a19 :
   "net: usb: cdc_ncm: don't spew notifications"

The old method for reporting link speed assumed a driver uses the
generic phy (mii) MDIO read/write functions. CDC devices don't
expose the phy.

Add a primitive internal version reporting back directly what
the CDC notification/status operations recorded.

v2: rebased on upstream
v3: changed names and made clear which units are used
v4: moved hunks to correct patch; rewrote commmit messages
