From: Roopa Prabhu <roopa@cumulusnetworks.com>

This patch adds a new RTM_GETSTATS message to query link stats via netlink
from the kernel. RTM_NEWLINK also dumps stats today, but RTM_NEWLINK
returns a lot more than just stats and is expensive in some cases when
frequent polling for stats from userspace is a common operation.

RTM_GETSTATS is an attempt to provide a light weight netlink message
to explicity query only link stats from the kernel on an interface.
The idea is to also keep it extensible so that new kinds of stats can be
added to it in the future.

This patch adds the following attribute for NETDEV stats:
struct nla_policy ifla_stats_policy[IFLA_STATS_MAX + 1] = {
        [IFLA_STATS_LINK_64]  = { .len = sizeof(struct rtnl_link_stats64) },
};

Like any other rtnetlink message, RTM_GETSTATS can be used to get stats of
a single interface or all interfaces with NLM_F_DUMP.

Future possible new types of stat attributes:
link af stats:
    - IFLA_STATS_LINK_IPV6  (nested. for ipv6 stats)
    - IFLA_STATS_LINK_MPLS  (nested. for mpls/mdev stats)
extended stats:
    - IFLA_STATS_LINK_EXTENDED (nested. extended software netdev stats like bridge,
      vlan, vxlan etc)
    - IFLA_STATS_LINK_HW_EXTENDED (nested. extended hardware stats which are
      available via ethtool today)

This patch also declares a filter mask for all stat attributes.
User has to provide a mask of stats attributes to query. filter mask
can be specified in the new hdr 'struct if_stats_msg' for stats messages.
Other important field in the header is the ifindex.

This api can also include attributes for global stats (eg tcp) in the future.
When global stats are included in a stats msg, the ifindex in the header
must be zero. A single stats message cannot contain both global and
netdev specific stats. To easily distinguish them, netdev specific stat
attributes name are prefixed with IFLA_STATS_LINK_

Without any attributes in the filter_mask, no stats will be returned.

This patch has been tested with mofified iproute2 ifstat.

RFC to v1 (apologies for the delay in sending this version out. busy days):
        - Addressed feedback from Dave
                - removed rtnl_link_stats
                - Added hdr struct if_stats_msg to carry ifindex and
                  filter mask
                - new macro IFLA_STATS_FILTER_BIT(ATTR) for filter mask
        - split the ipv6 patch into a separate patch, need some more eyes on it
        - prefix attributes with IFLA_STATS instead of IFLA_LINK_STATS for
          shorter attribute names

v2:
        - move IFLA_STATS_INET6 declaration to the inet6 patch
        - get rid of RTM_DELSTATS
        - mark ipv6 patch RFC. It can be used as an example for
          other AF stats like stats

v3:
        - add required padding to the if_stats_msg structure(suggested by jamal)
        - rename netdev stat attributes with IFLA_STATS_LINK prefix
          so that they are easily distinguishable with global
          stats in the future (after global stats discussion with thomas)
        - get rid of unnecessary copy when getting stats with dev_get_stats
          (suggested by dave)

v4:
        - dropped calcit and af stats from this patch. Will add it
          back when it becomes necessary and with the first af stats
          patch
        - add check for null filter in dump and return -EINVAL:
          this follows rtnl_fdb_dump in returning an error.
          But since netlink_dump does not propagate the error
          to the user, the user will not see an error and
          but will also not see any data. This is consistent with
          other kinds of dumps.

v5:
        - fix selinux nlmsgtab to account for new RTM_*STATS messages
