This adds FDB bridge ops to the macvlan device passthru mode.
Additionally a flags field was added and a NOPROMISC bit to
allow users to use passthru mode without the driver calling
dev_set_promiscuity(). The flags field is a u16 placed in a
4 byte hole (consuming 2 bytes) of the macvlan_dev struct.
We want to do this so that the macvlan driver or stack
above the macvlan driver does not have to process every
packet. For the use case where we know all the MAC addresses
of the endstations above us this works well.
This patch is a result of Roopa Prabhu's work. Follow up
patches are needed for VEPA and VEB macvlan modes.
v2: Change from distinct nopromisc mode to a flags field to
configure this. This avoids the tendency to add a new
mode every time we need some slightly different behavior.
v3: fix error in dev_set_promiscuity and add change and get
link attributes for flags.

commit df8ef8f3aaa6692970a436204c4429210addb23a
macvlan: add FDB bridge ops and macvlan flags
added a flags field to macvlan, which can be
controlled from userspace.
The idea is to make the interface future-proof
so we can add flags and not new fields.
However, flags value isn't validated, as a result,
userspace can't detect which flags are supported.

commit df8ef8f3aaa6692970a436204c4429210addb23a
"macvlan: add FDB bridge ops and macvlan flags"
added a way to control NOPROMISC macvlan flag through netlink.
However, with a non passthrough device we never set promisc on open,
even if NOPROMISC is off. As a result:
If userspace clears NOPROMISC on open, then does not clear it on a
netlink command, promisc counter is not decremented on stop and there
will be no way to clear it once macvlan is detached.
If userspace does not clear NOPROMISC on open, then sets NOPROMISC on a
netlink command, promisc counter will be decremented from 0 and overflow
to fffffffff with no way to clear promisc.
To fix, simply ignore NOPROMISC flag in a netlink command for
non-passthrough devices, same as we do at open/close.
Since we touch this code anyway - check dev_set_promiscuity return code
and pass it to users (though an error here is unlikely).
