We have helper routines to support nested attribute addition into
netlink buffer: use them instead of open coding.
Use addattr_nest_compat()/addattr_nest_compat_end() where appropriate.

This patch adapts the tc command line interface to allow bandwidth limits
to be specified as a percentage of the interface's capacity.
Adding this functionality requires passing the specified device string to
each class/qdisc which changes the prototype for a couple of functions: the
.parse_qopt and .parse_copt interfaces. The device string is a required
parameter for tc-qdisc and tc-class, and when not specified, the kernel
returns ENODEV. In this patch, if the user tries to specify a bandwidth
percentage without naming the device, we return an error from userspace.

The Credit Based Shaper (CBS) queueing discipline allows bandwidth
reservation with sub-milisecond precision. It is defined by the
802.1Q-2014 specification (section 8.6.8.2 and Annex L).
The syntax is:
tc qdisc add dev DEV parent NODE cbs locredit <LOCREDIT>
hicredit <HICREDIT> sendslope <SENDSLOPE>
idleslope <IDLESLOPE>
(The order is not important)
