This patch changes the naming for interface private data for lowpan
intefaces. The current private data scheme is:
-------------------------------------------------
| 6LoWPAN Generic | LinkLayer 6LoWPAN |
-------------------------------------------------
the current naming schemes are:
- 6LoWPAN Generic:
- lowpan_priv
- LinkLayer 6LoWPAN:
- BTLE
- lowpan_dev
- 802.15.4:
- lowpan_dev_info
the new naming scheme with this patch will be:
- 6LoWPAN Generic:
- lowpan_dev
- LinkLayer 6LoWPAN:
- BTLE
- lowpan_btle_dev
- 802.15.4:
- lowpan_802154_dev

This patch fixed the return value of netdev notifier. If the command is
a don't care a NOTIFY_DONE should be returned. If the command matched a
NOTIFY_OK should be returned.

This patch introduces register and unregister functionality for lowpan
interfaces. While register a lowpan interface there are several things
which need to be initialize by the 6lowpan subsystem. Upcoming
functionality need to register/unregister per interface components e.g.
debugfs entry.

This patch moves values for all lowpan interface to the shared
implementation of 6lowpan. This patch also quietly fixes the forgotten
IFF_NO_QUEUE flag for the bluetooth 6LoWPAN interface. An identically
commit is 4afbc0d ("net: 6lowpan: convert to using IFF_NO_QUEUE") which
wasn't changed for bluetooth 6lowpan.
All 6lowpan interfaces should be virtual with IFF_NO_QUEUE, using EUI64
address length, the mtu size is 1280 (IPV6_MIN_MTU) and the netdev type
is ARPHRD_6LOWPAN.

This patch cleanups needed_headroom, needed_tailroom and hard_header_len
fields for wpan and lowpan interfaces.
For wpan interfaces the worst case mac header len should be part of
needed_headroom, currently this is set as hard_header_len, but
hard_header_len should be set to the minimum header length which xmit
call assumes and this is the minimum frame length of 802.15.4.
The hard_header_len value will check inside send callbacl of AF_PACKET
raw sockets.
For lowpan interfaces, if fragmentation isn't needed the skb will
call dev_hard_header for 802154 layer and queue it afterwards. This
happens without new skb allocation, so we need the same headroom and
tailroom lengths like 802154 inside 802154 6lowpan layer. At least we
assume as minimum header length an ipv6 header size.

This patch removes one check on null which should be already done by
checking before for ARPHRD_IEEE802154. All ARPHRD_IEEE802154 and
ARPHRD_IEEE802154_MONITOR should have wdev->ieee802154_ptr, where
ARPHRD_IEEE802154 is currently a node interface only.

This patch moves the open count handling while doing open of a lowpan
interface. We need the packet handler register at first when one lowpan
interface is up. There exists a small case when all lowpan interfaces
are down and the 802154 packet layer is still registered. To reduce some
overhead we will register the packet layer when the first lowpan
interface comes up and unregister when the last interface will become down.

Inside the IEEE 802.15.4 6LoWPAN subsystem we use two interfaces which
are wpan and lowpan interfaces. Instead of using always the variable
name "dev" for both we rename the "dev" variable to wdev which means the
wpan net_device and ldev which means a lowpan net_device. This avoids
confusing and always looking back to see which net_device is meant by
the variable name "dev".

This patch fixes 802.15.4 packet layer registration when mutliple
lowpan interfaces will be added. We need to register the packet layer at
the first lowpan interface and deregister it at the last interface. This
done by open_count variable which is protected by rtnl.
Additional do a quiet fix by adding dev_put(real_dev) when netdev
registration fails, which fix the refcount for the wpan dev.

This patch introduced the 6lowpan netdev private data struct. We name it
lowpan_priv and it's placed at the beginning of netdev private data. All
lowpan interfaces should allocate this room at first of netdev private
data. 6LoWPAN LL private data can be allocate by additional netdev private
data, e.g. dev->priv_size should be "sizeof(struct lowpan_priv) +
sizeof(LL_LOWPAN_PRIVATE_DATA)".

We currently supports multiple lowpan interfaces per wpan interface. I
never saw any use case into such functionality. We drop this feature now
because it's much easier do deal with address changes inside the under
laying wpan interface.
This patch removes the multiple lowpan interface and adds a lowpan_dev
netdev pointer into the wpan_dev, if this pointer isn't null the wpan
interface belongs to the assigned lowpan interface.

This patch removes the mib lock. The new locking mechanism is to protect
the mib values with the rtnl lock. Note that this isn't always necessary
if we have an interface up the most mib values are readonly (e.g.
address settings). With this behaviour we can remove locking in
hotpath like frame parsing completely. It depends on context if we need
to hold the rtnl lock or not, this makes the callbacks of
ieee802154_mlme_ops unnecessary because these callbacks hols always the
locks.

Currently there exists two interface types with ARPHRD_IEEE802154. These
are the 802.15.4 interfaces and 802.15.4 6LoWPAN interfaces. This is
more a bug because some userspace applications checks on this value like
wireshark. This occurs that wireshark will always try to parse a lowpan
interface as 802.15.4 frames. With ARPHRD_6LOWPAN wireshark will parse
it as IPv6 frames which is correct.
Much applications checks on this value to readout the EUI64 mac address
which should be the same for ARPHRD_6LOWPAN. BTLE 6LoWPAN and ieee802154
6LoWPAN will share now the same ARPHRD.

6LoWPAN currently doesn't supports x-netns and works only in init_net.
With this patch, we ensure that:
- the wpan interface cannot be moved to another netns;
- the 6lowpan interface cannot be moved to another netns;
- the wpan interface is in the same netns than the 6lowpan interface;
- the 6lowpan interface is in init_net.
