net: provide a per host RSS key generic infrastructure

RSS (Receive Side Scaling) typically uses Toeplitz hash and a 40 or 52 bytes
RSS key.

Some drivers use a constant (and well known key), some drivers use a random
key per port, making bonding setups hard to tune. Well known keys increase
attack surface, considering that number of queues is usually a power of two.

This patch provides infrastructure to help drivers doing the right thing.

netdev_rss_key_fill() should be used by drivers to initialize their RSS key,
even if they provide ethtool -X support to let user redefine the key later.

A new /proc/sys/net/core/netdev_rss_key file can be used to get the host
RSS key even for drivers not providing ethtool -x support, in case some
applications want to precisely setup flows to match some RX queues.

Tested:

myhost:~# cat /proc/sys/net/core/netdev_rss_key

+netdev_rss_key
+--------------
+
+RSS (Receive Side Scaling) enabled drivers use a 40 bytes host key that is
+randomly generated.
+Some user space might need to gather its content even if drivers do not
+provide ethtool -x support yet.
