====================
devlink: Add support for control packet traps

So far device drivers were only able to register drop and exception
packet traps with devlink. These traps are used for packets that were
either dropped by the underlying device or encountered an exception
(e.g., missing neighbour entry) during forwarding.

However, in the steady state, the majority of the packets being trapped
to the CPU are packets that are required for the correct functioning of
the control plane. For example, ARP request and IGMP query packets.

This patch set allows device drivers to register such control traps with
devlink and expose their default control plane policy to user space.
User space can then tune the packet trap policer settings according to
its needs, as with existing packet traps.

In a similar fashion to exception traps, the action associated with such
traps cannot be changed as it can easily break the control plane. Unlike
drop and exception traps, packets trapped via control traps are not
reported to the kernel's drop monitor as they are not indicative of any
problem.

Patch set overview:

Patches #1-#3 break out layer 3 exceptions to a different group to
provide better granularity. A future patch set will make this completely
configurable.

Patch #4 adds a new trap action ('mirror') that is used for packets that
are forwarded by the device and sent to the CPU. Such packets are marked
by device drivers with 'skb->offload_fwd_mark = 1' in order to prevent
the kernel from forwarding them again.

Patch #5 adds the new trap type, 'control'.

Patches #6-#8 gradually add various control traps to devlink with proper
documentation.

Patch #9 adds a few control traps to netdevsim, which are automatically
exercised by existing devlink-trap selftest.

Patches #10 performs small refactoring in mlxsw.

Patches #11-#13 change mlxsw to register its existing control traps with
devlink.

Patch #14 adds a selftest over mlxsw that exercises all the registered
control traps.
