====================
This series of changes basically clean up NDISC logic,
especially on sender side.
We originally do For NS/NA/RS:
1) build temporary ICMPv6 header
2) ndisc_build_skb() with temporary ICMPv6 header and rather
criptic arguments.
- Calculate total length and allocate sk_buff
- Build IPv6 header.
- copy ICMPv6 header, additional data and ND options.
- Fill-in ICMPv6 checksum.
Here, structures defined for message format was not used
at all, it is difficult to understand what is being sent,
and it was not generic.
3) __ndisc_send()
- Allocate temporary dst.
- Send it.
Several issues:
- We could not defer decision if we should/can send some ND
option.
- It is hard to see the packet format at a glance.
- ICMPv6 header was built as temporary variable, and then
copied to the buffer.
- Some code path for Redirect was not shared.
With these patches, we do:
1) Calculate (or estimate) message length and option length.
2) Allocate skb (via new ndisc_skb_alloc()).
3) Fill-in ICMPv6 message directly using compound literals.
4) Fill-in ICMPv6 checksum
5) Build IPv6 header (including length)
6) Send the packet (via ndisc_send_skb()).
- allocate temporary dst and send it.
- We can defer calculating real length of the packet.
For example, we can give up filling some option at when
filling in.
- Message is built directly without temporary buffer.
- Structures defined for message format is easier to understand
what is being built.
- NS/NA/RS/Redirect share same logic.
- Reduced code/data size:

Build ICMPv6 message first and make buffer management easier;
we can use skb->len when filling checksum in ICMPv6 header,
and then build IP header with length field.

- move ip6_nd_hdr() to its users' source files.
In net/ipv6/mcast.c, it will be called ip6_mc_hdr().
- make return type to void since this function never fails.

Support arbitrary linux socket filter (BPF) programs as x_tables
match rules. This allows for very expressive filters, and on
platforms with BPF JIT appears competitive with traditional
hardcoded iptables rules using the u32 match.
The size of the filter has been artificially limited to 64
instructions maximum to avoid bloating the size of each rule
using this new match.

This patch calls device_set_wakeup_enable() inside set_wol
callback, so that turning on WOL from user mode utility
can make the 'wakeup' of pegasus device to be enabled, then
remote wakeup may be enabled before putting into sleep.

When processing the unregister notify for a hard interface, removing
the sysfs files may lead to a circular deadlock (rtnl mutex <->
s_active).
To overcome this problem, postpone the sysfs removal in a worker.
