Now that netdev notifications can fail, we can use this to signal
errors during registration for IPv4/IPv6. In particular, if we
fail to allocate memory for the inet device, we can fail the netdev
registration.

This patch adds code to allow errors to be passed up from event
handlers of NETDEV_REGISTER and NETDEV_CHANGENAME. It also adds
the notifier_from_errno/notifier_to_errnor helpers to pass the
errno value up to the notifier caller.
If an error is detected when a device is registered, it causes
that operation to fail. A NETDEV_UNREGISTER will be sent to
all event handlers.
Similarly if NETDEV_CHANGENAME fails the original name is restored
and a new NETDEV_CHANGENAME event is sent.
As such all event handlers must be idempotent with respect to
these events.
When an event handler is registered NETDEV_REGISTER events are
sent for all devices currently registered. Should any of them
fail, we will send NETDEV_GOING_DOWN/NETDEV_DOWN/NETDEV_UNREGISTER
events to that handler for the devices which have already been
registered with it. The handler registration itself will fail.

When we added name-based hashing the dev_base_lock was designated as the
lock to take when changing the name hash list. Unfortunately, because
it was a preexisting lock that just happened to be taken in the right
spots we neglected to take it in dev_change_name.
The race can affect calles of __dev_get_by_name that do so without taking
the RTNL. They may end up walking down the wrong hash chain and end up
missing the device that they're looking for.

We loop through psm values, calling __l2cap_get_sock_by_addr(psm, ...)
until we get NULL; then we set ->psm of our socket to htobs(psm).
IOW, we find unused psm value and put it into our socket. So far, so
good, but... __l2cap_get_sock_by_addr() compares its argument with
->psm of sockets. IOW, the entire thing works correctly only on
little-endian. On big-endian we'll get "no socket with such psm"
on the first iteration, since we won't find a socket with ->psm == 0x1001.
We will happily conclude that 0x1001 is unused and slap htobs(0x1001)
(i.e. 0x110) into ->psm of our socket. Of course, the next time around
the same thing will repeat and we'll just get a fsckload of sockets
with the same ->psm assigned.
Fix: pass htobs(psm) to __l2cap_get_sock_by_addr() there. All other
callers are already passing little-endian values and all places that
store something in ->psm are storing little-endian.

Remove use of received timestamp option value from RTT calculation in Cubic.
A hostile receiver may be returning a larger timestamp option than the original
value. This would cause the sender to believe the malevolent receiver had
a larger RTT and because Cubic tries to provide some RTT friendliness, the
sender would then favor the liar.
Instead, use the jiffie resolutionRTT value already computed and
passed back after ack.

This patch changes the API for the callback that is done after an ACK is
received. It solves a couple of issues:
* Some congestion controls want higher resolution value of RTT
(controlled by TCP_CONG_RTT_SAMPLE flag). These don't really want a ktime, but
all compute a RTT in microseconds.
* Other congestion control could use RTT at jiffies resolution.
To keep API consistent the units should be the same for both cases, just the
resolution should change.
