vxlan metadata device vnifiltering support
This series adds vnifiltering support to vxlan collect metadata device.
Motivation:
You can only use a single vxlan collect metadata device for a given
vxlan udp port in the system today. The vxlan collect metadata device
terminates all received vxlan packets. As shown in the below diagram,
there are use-cases where you need to support multiple such vxlan devices in
independent bridge domains. Each vxlan device must terminate the vni's
it is configured for.
Example usecase: In a service provider network a service provider
typically supports multiple bridge domains with overlapping vlans.
One bridge domain per customer. Vlans in each bridge domain are
mapped to globally unique vxlan ranges assigned to each customer.
This series adds vnifiltering support to collect metadata devices to
terminate only configured vnis. This is similar to vlan filtering in
bridge driver. The vni filtering capability is provided by a new flag on
collect metadata device.
In the below pic:
- customer1 is mapped to br1 bridge domain
- customer2 is mapped to br2 bridge domain
- customer1 vlan 10-11 is mapped to vni 1001-1002
- customer2 vlan 10-11 is mapped to vni 2001-2002
- br1 and br2 are vlan filtering bridges
- vxlan1 and vxlan2 are collect metadata devices with
vnifiltering enabled

v2:
- remove stale xstats declarations pointed out by Nikolay Aleksandrov
- squash selinux patch with the tunnel api patch as pointed out by
benjamin poirier
- Fix various build issues:
Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com>
v3:
- incorporate review feedback from Jakub
- move rhashtable declarations to c file
- define and use netlink policy for top level vxlan filter api
- fix unused stats function warning
- pass vninode from vnifilter lookup into stats count function
to avoid another lookup (only applicable to vxlan_rcv)
- fix missing vxlan vni delete notifications in vnifilter uninit
function
- misc cleanups
- remote dev check for multicast groups added via vnifiltering api

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
