Add software timestamp capabilities to the xen-netback driver
by advertising it on the struct ethtool_ops and calling
skb_tx_timestamp before passing the buffer to the queue.

<title>xen-netback: use default TX queue size for vifs</title>

<id>66cf7435a26917c0c4d6245ad9137e7606e84fdf</id>
<content type='text'>
Do not set netback interfaces (vifs) default TX queue size to the ring size.
The TX queue size is not related to the ring size, and using the ring size (32)
as the queue size can lead to packet drops.  Note the TX side of the vif
interface in the netback domain is the one receiving packets to be injected
to the guest.

Do not explicitly set the TX queue length to any value when creating the
interface, and instead use the system default.  Note that the queue length can
also be adjusted at runtime.

Add a kthread_stop_put() helper that stops a thread and puts its task
struct.  Use it to replace the various instances of kthread_stop()

Remove the kthread_stop_put() macro in usbip that is similar but doesn't
return the result of kthread_stop().

<title>xen/netback: don't call kfree_skb() with interrupts disabled</title>

<content type='text'>
It is not allowed to call kfree_skb() from hardware interrupt
context or with interrupts being disabled. So remove kfree_skb()
from the spin_lock_irqsave() section and use the already existing
"drop" label in xenvif_start_xmit() for dropping the SKB. At the
same time replace the dev_kfree_skb() call there with a call of
dev_kfree_skb_any(), as xenvif_start_xmit() can be called with
disabled interrupts.

This is XSA-424 / CVE-2022-42328 / CVE-2022-42329.

We tell driver developers to always pass NAPI_POLL_WEIGHT
as the weight to netif_napi_add(). This may be confusing
to newcomers, drop the weight argument, those who really
need to tweak the weight can use netif_napi_add_weight().

Defining local versions of NAPI_POLL_WEIGHT with the same
values in the drivers just makes refactoring harder.

Drop the special defines in a bunch of drivers where the
removal is relatively simple so grouping into one patch
does not impact reviewability.
