net: dsa: Rename IFLA_DSA_MASTER to IFLA_DSA_CONDUIT

This preserves the existing IFLA_DSA_MASTER which is part of the uAPI
and creates an alias named IFLA_DSA_CONDUIT.

net: dsa: Use conduit and user terms

Use more inclusive terms throughout the DSA subsystem by moving away
from "master" which is replaced by "conduit" and "slave" which is
replaced by "user". No functional changes.

net: dsa: kill off dsa_priv.h

The last remnants in dsa_priv.h are a netlink-related definition for
which we create a new header, and DSA_MAX_NUM_OFFLOADING_BRIDGES which
is only used from dsa.c, so move it there.

Some inclusions need to be adjusted now that we no longer have headers
included transitively from dsa_priv.h.

net: dsa: move headers exported by slave.c to slave.h

Minimize the use of the bloated dsa_priv.h by moving the prototypes
exported by slave.c to their own header file.

This is just approximate to get the code structure right. There are some
interdependencies with static inline code left in dsa_priv.h, so leave
slave.h included from there for now.

net: dsa: make user ports return to init_net on netns deletion

As pointed out during review, currently the following set of commands
crashes the kernel:

$ ip netns add ns0
$ ip link set swp0 netns ns0
$ ip netns del ns0

unregister_netdevice: waiting for swp0 to become free. Usage count = 2

This is because since DSA user ports, since they started populating
dev->rtnl_link_ops in the blamed commit, gained a different treatment
from default_device_exit_net(), which thinks these interfaces can now be
unregistered.

They can't; so set netns_refund = true to restore the behavior prior to
populating dev->rtnl_link_ops.

net: dsa: allow the DSA master to be seen and changed through rtnetlink

Some DSA switches have multiple CPU ports, which can be used to improve
CPU termination throughput, but DSA, through dsa_tree_setup_cpu_ports(),
sets up only the first one, leading to suboptimal use of hardware.

The desire is to not change the default configuration but to permit the
user to create a dynamic mapping between individual user ports and the
CPU port that they are served by, configurable through rtnetlink. It is
also intended to permit load balancing between CPU ports, and in that
case, the foreseen model is for the DSA master to be a bonding interface
whose lowers are the physical DSA masters.

To that end, we create a struct rtnl_link_ops for DSA user ports with
the "dsa" kind. We expose the IFLA_DSA_MASTER link attribute that
contains the ifindex of the newly desired DSA master.
