This patch does several things:
- introduces __ethtool_get_settings which is called from ethtool code and
from drivers as well. Put ASSERT_RTNL there.
- dev_ethtool_get_settings() is replaced by __ethtool_get_settings()
- changes calling in drivers so rtnl locking is respected. In
iboe_get_rate was previously ->get_settings() called unlocked. This
fixes it. Also prb_calc_retire_blk_tmo() in af_packet.c had the same
problem. Also fixed by calling __dev_get_by_index() instead of
dev_get_by_index() and holding rtnl_lock for both calls.
- introduces rtnl_lock in bnx2fc_vport_create() and fcoe_vport_create()
so bnx2fc_if_create() and fcoe_if_create() are called locked as they
are from other places.
- use __ethtool_get_settings() in bonding code

v2->v3:
-removed dev_ethtool_get_settings()
-added ASSERT_RTNL into __ethtool_get_settings()
-prb_calc_retire_blk_tmo - use __dev_get_by_index() and lock
around it and __ethtool_get_settings() call

add missing export_symbol

It's after all necessary to do reset headers here. The reason is we
cannot depend that it gets reseted in __netif_receive_skb once skb is
reinjected. For incoming vlanids without vlan_dev, vlan_do_receive()
returns false with skb != NULL and __netif_reveive_skb continues, skb is
not reinjected.
This might be good material for 3.0-stable as well

After the last patch, We are left in a state in which only drivers calling
ether_setup have IFF_TX_SKB_SHARING set (we assume that drivers touching real
hardware call ether_setup for their net_devices and don't hold any state in
their skbs. There are a handful of drivers that violate this assumption of
course, and need to be fixed up. This patch identifies those drivers, and marks
them as not being able to support the safe transmission of skbs by clearning the
IFF_TX_SKB_SHARING flag in priv_flags

there is only one user of vlan_find_dev outside of the actual vlan code:
qlcnic uses it to iterate over some VLANs it knows.
let's just make vlan_find_dev private to the VLAN code and have the
iteration in qlcnic be a bit more direct. (a few rcu dereferences less
too)

There is no software fallback implemented for SCTP or FCoE checksumming,
and so it should not be passed on by software devices like bridge or bonding.
For VLAN devices, this is different. First, the driver for underlying device
should be prepared to get offloaded packets even when the feature is disabled
(especially if it advertises it in vlan_features). Second, devices under
VLANs do not get replaced without tearing down the VLAN first.
This fixes a mess I accidentally introduced while converting bonding to
ndo_fix_features.
NETIF_F_SOFT_FEATURES are removed from BOND_VLAN_FEATURES because they
are unused as of commit 712ae51afd.

Testing of VLAN_FLAG_REORDER_HDR does not belong in vlan_untag
but rather in vlan_do_receive. Otherwise the vlan header
will not be properly put on the packet in the case of
vlan header accelleration.
As we remove the check from vlan_check_reorder_header
rename it vlan_reorder_header to keep the naming clean.
Fix up the skb->pkt_type early so we don't look at the packet
after adding the vlan tag, which guarantees we don't goof
and look at the wrong field.
Use a simple if statement instead of a complicated switch
statement to decided that we need to increment rx_stats
for a multicast packet.
Hopefully at somepoint we will just declare the case where
VLAN_FLAG_REORDER_HDR is cleared as unsupported and remove
the code. Until then this keeps it working correctly.

Fix VLAN features propagation for devices which change vlan_features.
For this to work, driver needs to make sure netdev_features_changed()
gets called after the change (it is e.g. after ndo_set_features()).
Side effect is that a user might request features that will never
be enabled on a VLAN device.

At VLAN dismantle phase, unregister_vlan_dev() makes one
synchronize_net() call after vlan_group_set_device(grp, vlan_id, NULL).
This call can be safely removed because we are calling
unregister_netdevice_queue() to queue device for deletion, and this
process needs at least one rcu grace period to complete.

Now there are 2 paths for rx vlan frames. When rx-vlan-hw-accel is
enabled, skb is untagged by NIC, vlan_tci is set and the skb gets into
vlan code in __netif_receive_skb - vlan_hwaccel_do_receive.
For non-rx-vlan-hw-accel however, tagged skb goes thru whole
__netif_receive_skb, it's untagged in ptype_base hander and reinjected
This incosistency is fixed by this patch. Vlan untagging happens early in

Toggling the vlan tx|rx hw offloads needs to set the hard_header_len
as well otherwise we end up using LL_RESERVED_SPACE incorrectly.
This results in pskb_expand_head() being used unnecessarily.

(struct net_device)->vlgrp is rcu protected :
add __rcu annotation and proper rcu primitives.

Currently each driver that is capable of vlan hardware acceleration
must be aware of the vlan groups that are configured and then pass
the stripped tag to a specialized receive function. This is
different from other types of hardware offload in that it places a
significant amount of knowledge in the driver itself rather keeping
it in the networking core.
This makes vlan offloading function more similarly to other forms
of offloading (such as checksum offloading or TSO) by doing the
following:
* On receive, stripped vlans are passed directly to the network
core, without attempting to check for vlan groups or reconstructing
the header if no group
* vlans are made less special by folding the logic into the main
receive routines
* On transmit, the device layer will add the vlan header in software
if the hardware doesn't support it, instead of spreading that logic
out in upper layers, such as bonding.
There are a number of advantages to this:
* Fixes all bugs with drivers incorrectly dropping vlan headers at once.
* Avoids having to disable VLAN acceleration when in promiscuous mode
(good for bridging since it always puts devices in promiscuous mode).
* Keeps VLAN tag separate until given to ultimate consumer, which
avoids needing to do header reconstruction as in tg3 unless absolutely
necessary.
* Consolidates common code in core networking.

A struct net_device always maps to zero or one vlan groups and we
always know the device when we are looking up a group. We currently
do a hash table lookup on the device to find the group but it is
much simpler to just store a pointer.

VLAN_GROUP_ARRAY_LEN is simply the number of possible vlan VIDs.
Since vlan groups will soon be more of an implementation detail
for vlan devices, rename the constant to be descriptive of its
actual purpose.
