net: fib_notifier: propagate extack down to the notifier block callback

Since errors are propagated all the way up to the caller, propagate
possible extack of the caller all the way down to the notifier block
callback.

net: fib_notifier: make FIB notifier per-netns

Currently all users of FIB notifier only cares about events in init_net.
Later in this patchset, users get interested in other namespaces too.
However, for every registered block user is interested only about one
namespace. Make the FIB notifier registration per-netns and avoid
unnecessary calls of notifier block for other namespaces.

net: fib_notifier: move fib_notifier_ops from struct net into per-net struct

No need for fib_notifier_ops to be in struct net. It is used only by
fib_notifier as a private data. Use net_generic to introduce per-net
fib_notifier struct and move fib_notifier_ops there.

net: Fix fib notifer to return errno

Notifier handlers use notifier_from_errno to convert any potential error
to an encoded format. As a consequence the other side, call_fib_notifier{s}
in this case, needs to use notifier_to_errno to return the error from
the handler back to its caller.

net: Introduce net_rwsem to protect net_namespace_list

rtnl_lock() is used everywhere, and contention is very high.
When someone wants to iterate over alive net namespaces,
he/she has no a possibility to do that without exclusive lock.
But the exclusive rtnl_lock() in such places is overkill,
and it just increases the contention. Yes, there is already
for_each_net_rcu() in kernel, but it requires rcu_read_lock(),
and this can't be sleepable. Also, sometimes it may be need
really prevent net_namespace_list growth, so for_each_net_rcu()
is not fit there.

This patch introduces new rw_semaphore, which will be used
instead of rtnl_mutex to protect net_namespace_list. It is
sleepable and allows not-exclusive iterations over net
namespaces list. It allows to stop using rtnl_lock()
in several places (what is made in next patches) and makes
less the time, we keep rtnl_mutex. Here we just add new lock,
while the explanation of we can remove rtnl_lock() there are
in next patches.

Fine grained locks generally are better, then one big lock,
so let's do that with net_namespace_list, while the situation
allows that.

net: Drop pernet_operations::async

Synchronous pernet_operations are not allowed anymore.
All are asynchronous. So, drop the structure member.

net: Protect iterations over net::fib_notifier_ops in fib_seq_sum()

There is at least unlocked deletion of net->ipv4.fib_notifier_ops
from net::fib_notifier_ops:

ip_fib_net_exit()
rtnl_unlock()
fib4_notifier_exit()
fib_notifier_ops_unregister(net->ipv4.notifier_ops)
list_del_rcu(&ops->list)

So fib_seq_sum() can't use rtnl_lock() only for protection.

The possible solution could be to use rtnl_lock()
in fib_notifier_ops_unregister(), but this adds
a possible delay during net namespace creation,
so we better use rcu_read_lock() till someone
really needs the mutex (if that happens).

net: Add module reference to FIB notifiers

When a listener registers to the FIB notification chain it receives a
dump of the FIB entries and rules from existing address families by
invoking their dump operations.

While we call into these modules we need to make sure they aren't
removed. Do that by increasing their reference count before invoking
their dump operations and decrease it afterwards.

net: core: Make the FIB notification chain generic

The FIB notification chain is currently soley used by IPv4 code.
However, we're going to introduce IPv6 FIB offload support, which
requires these notification as well.

As explained in commit c3852ef7f2f8 ("ipv4: fib: Replay events when
registering FIB notifier"), upon registration to the chain, the callee
receives a full dump of the FIB tables and rules by traversing all the
net namespaces. The integrity of the dump is ensured by a per-namespace
sequence counter that is incremented whenever a change to the tables or
rules occurs.

In order to allow more address families to use the chain, each family is
expected to register its fib_notifier_ops in its pernet init. These
operations allow the common code to read the family's sequence counter
as well as dump its tables and rules in the given net namespace.

Additionally, a 'family' parameter is added to sent notifications, so
that listeners could distinguish between the different families.

Implement the common code that allows listeners to register to the chain
and for address families to register their fib_notifier_ops. Subsequent
patches will implement these operations in IPv6.

In the future, ipmr and ip6mr will be extended to provide these
notifications as well.
