GRO test is very timing-sensitive, packets may be delayed
by the network or just sent slowly. Because of this we retry
each test case up to 6 times.
This makes perfect sense for positive cases, in which we want
to see coalescing. Negative test cases, which modify headers
and expect no coalescing should have opposite treatment.
We should really try 6 times and make sure that each time
the test failed. This would, however, require that we annotate
each test to indicate whether its positive or negative.
Let's start with a simpler improvement. Do not allow
retries if we detected over-coalescing. Previously the negative
case would have to get lucky at least once in 6 tries to pass.
Now the first failure breaks the retry loop.
For background - NICs tend to ignore the contents of the TCP
timestamp option, so that test case commonly fails. In NIPA
having 6 attempts, however, was enough for some NICs to get
multiple successful runs in a row, getting the test cases
auto-classified as expected to pass, even tho the NIC does
not comply with the expectations.

Add PPPoE test-cases to the GRO selftest. Only run a subset of
common_tests to avoid changing the hardcoded L3 offsets everywhere.
Add a new "pppoe_sid" test case to verify that packets with different
PPPoE session IDs are correctly identified as separate flows and not
coalesced.

Certain devices which support ntuple-filters do not enable the feature
by default. The existing tests will skip (if they check for the feature),
or fail if they blindly attempt to install rules. Therefore, attempt to turn
on ntuple-filters if the device supports them.

We explicitly test ipip encap. Let's add ip6ip6, too. Having
just ipip seems like favoring IPv4 which we should not do :)
Testing all combinations is left for future work, not sure
it's actually worth it.

Small IPv4 packets get padded to 60B, this may break / confuse
some buggy implementations. Add a test to coalesce a 1B payload.
Keep this separate from the lrg_sml test because I suspect some
implementations may not handle this case (treat padded frames
as ineligible for coalescing).

Add a test trying to induce a GRO context timeout followed
by another sequence of packets for the same flow. The second
burst arrives 100ms after the first one so any implementation
(SW or HW) must time out waiting at that point. We expect both
bursts to be aggregated successfully but separately.

Reuse the long sequence test to max out the GRO contexts.
Repeat for a single queue, 8 queues, and default number
of queues but flow steering to just one.
The SW GRO's capacity should be around 64 per queue
(8 buckets, up to 8 skbs in a chain).

The gro.c packet sender is used for SW testing but bulk of incoming
new tests will be HW-specific. So it's better to put them under
drivers/net/hw/, to avoid tip-toeing around netdevsim. Move gro.c
to lib so we can reuse it.

Currently, GRO does not flush packets when the CWR bit is set.
A corresponding self-test is being added, in which the CWR flag
is set for two consecutive packets, but the first packet with the
CWR flag set will not be flushed immediately.

GRO test groups the cases into categories, e.g. "tcp" case
checks coalescing in presence of:
- packets with bad csum,
- sequence number mismatch,
- timestamp option value mismatch,
- different TCP options.
Since we now have TAP support grouping the cases like that
lowers our reporting granularity. This matters even more for
NICs performing HW GRO and LRO since it appears that most
implementation have _some_ bugs. Flagging the whole group
of tests as failed prevents us from catching regressions
in the things that work today.

We'll need to do a lot more feature handling to test HW-GRO and LRO.
Clean up the feature handling for SW GRO a bit to let the next commit
focus on the new test cases, only.
Make sure HW GRO-like features are not enabled for the SW tests.
Be more careful about changing features as "nothing changed"
situations may result in non-zero error code from ethtool.
Don't disable TSO on the local interface (receiver) when running over
netdevsim, we just want GSO to break up the segments on the sender.

not exact, the changes are related to integrating the test
with our "remote endpoint" paradigm. The test now reads
the IP addresses from the user config. It resolves the MAC
address (including running over Layer 3 networks).
