To keep backward compatibility we used to leave attribute parsing
to the family if no policy is specified. This becomes tedious as
we move to more strict validation. Families must define reject all
policies if they don't want any attributes accepted.

Piggy back on the resv_start_op field as the switchover point.
AFAICT only ethtool has added new commands since the resv_start_op
was defined, and it has per-op policies so this should be a no-op.

Nonetheless the patch should still go into v6.1 for consistency.

<title>genetlink: start to validate reserved header bytes</title>

We had historically not checked that genlmsghdr.reserved
is 0 on input which prevents us from using those precious
bytes in the future.

One use case would be to extend the cmd field, which is
currently just 8 bits wide and 256 is not a lot of commands
for some core families.

To make sure that new families do the right thing by default
put the onus of opting out of validation on existing families.

Multicast group flags were added in commit 4d54cc32112d ("mptcp: avoid
lock_fast usage in accept path"), but it missed adding the kdoc.

Mention which flags go into that field, and do the same for
op structs.

Once event support is added this may need to allocate memory while msk
lock is held with softirqs disabled.

Not using lock_fast also allows to do the allocation with GFP_KERNEL.

Rejecting non-native endian BTF overlapped with the addition
of support for it.

The rest were more simple overlapping changes, except the
renesas ravb binding update, which had to follow a file
move as well as a YAML conversion.

Add policy to the struct genl_ops structure, this time
with maxattr, so it can be used properly.

Propagate .policy and .maxattr from the family
in genl_get_cmd() if needed, this way the rest of the
code does not have to worry if the policy is per op
or global.

<title>genetlink: add small version of ops</title>

We want to add maxattr and policy back to genl_ops, to enable
dumping per command policy to user space. This, however, would
cause bloat for all the families with global policies. Introduce
smaller version of ops (half the size of genl_ops). Translate
these smaller ops into a full blown struct before use in the
core.

v1:
 - use struct assignment
 - put a full copy of the op in struct genl_dumpit_info
 - s/light/small/

There are holes and oversized members in struct genl_family.

Before: /* size: 104, cachelines: 2, members: 16 */
After:  /* size:  88, cachelines: 2, members: 16 */

The command field in struct genlmsghdr is a u8, so no point
in the operation count being 32 bit. Also operation 0 is
usually undefined, so we only need 255 entries.

netnsok and parallel_ops are only ever initialized to true.

We can grow the fields as needed, compiler should warn us
if someone tries to assign larger constants.
