Now that we have a nested tunnel info attribute we can add a separate
one for the tunnel command and require it explicitly from user-space. It
must be one of RTM_SETLINK/DELLINK. Only RTM_SETLINK requires a valid
tunnel id, DELLINK just removes it if it was set before. This allows us
to have all tunnel attributes and control in one place, thus removing
the need for an outside vlan info flag.

While discussing the new API, Roopa mentioned that we'll be adding more
tunnel attributes and options in the future, so it's better to make it a
nested attribute, since this is still in net-next we can easily change it
and nest the tunnel id attribute under BRIDGE_VLANDB_ENTRY_TUNNEL_INFO.

The new format is:
 [BRIDGE_VLANDB_ENTRY]
     [BRIDGE_VLANDB_ENTRY_TUNNEL_INFO]
         [BRIDGE_VLANDB_TINFO_ID]

Any new tunnel attributes can be nested under
BRIDGE_VLANDB_ENTRY_TUNNEL_INFO.

<title>net: bridge: vlan: include stats in dumps if requested</title>

<content type='text'>
This patch adds support for vlan stats to be included when dumping vlan
information. We have to dump them only when explicitly requested (thus the
flag below) because that disables the vlan range compression and will make
the dump significantly larger. In order to request the stats to be
included we add a new dump attribute called BRIDGE_VLANDB_DUMP_FLAGS which
can affect dumps with the following first flag:
  - BRIDGE_VLANDB_DUMPF_STATS
The stats are intentionally nested and put into separate attributes to make
it easier for extending later since we plan to add per-vlan mcast stats,
drop stats and possibly STP stats. This is the last missing piece from the
new vlan API which makes the dumped vlan information complete.

A dump request which should include stats looks like:
 [BRIDGE_VLANDB_DUMP_FLAGS] |= BRIDGE_VLANDB_DUMPF_STATS

A vlandb entry attribute with stats looks like:
 [BRIDGE_VLANDB_ENTRY] = {
     [BRIDGE_VLANDB_ENTRY_STATS] = {
         [BRIDGE_VLANDB_STATS_RX_BYTES]
         [BRIDGE_VLANDB_STATS_RX_PACKETS]
         ...
     }
 }

This patch adds support for manipulating vlan/tunnel mappings. The
tunnel ids are globally unique and are one per-vlan. There were two
trickier issues - first in order to support vlan ranges we have to
compute the current tunnel id in the following way:
 - base tunnel id (attr) + current vlan id - starting vlan id
This is in line how the old API does vlan/tunnel mapping with ranges. We
already have the vlan range present, so it's redundant to add another
attribute for the tunnel range end. It's simply base tunnel id + vlan
range. And second to support removing mappings we need an out-of-band way
to tell the option manipulating function because there are no
special/reserved tunnel id values, so we use a vlan flag to denote the
operation is tunnel mapping removal.

Add a new option - BRIDGE_VLANDB_ENTRY_TUNNEL_ID which is used to dump
the tunnel id mapping. Since they're unique per vlan they can enter a
vlan range if they're consecutive, thus we can calculate the tunnel id
range map simply as: vlan range end id - vlan range start id. The
starting point is the tunnel id in BRIDGE_VLANDB_ENTRY_TUNNEL_ID. This
is similar to how the tunnel entries can be created in a range via the
old API (a vlan range maps to a tunnel range).

The first per-vlan option added is state, it is needed for EVPN and for
per-vlan STP. The state allows to control the forwarding on per-vlan
basis. The vlan state is considered only if the port state is forwarding
in order to avoid conflicts and be consistent. br_allowed_egress is
called only when the state is forwarding, but the ingress case is a bit
more complicated due to the fact that we may have the transition between
port:BR_STATE_FORWARDING -&gt; vlan:BR_STATE_LEARNING which should still
allow the bridge to learn from the packet after vlan filtering and it will
be dropped after that. Also to optimize the pvid state check we keep a
copy in the vlan group to avoid one lookup. The state members are
modified with *_ONCE() to annotate the lockless access.

This patch adds support for option modification of single vlans and
ranges. It allows to only modify options, i.e. skip create/delete by
using the BRIDGE_VLAN_INFO_ONLY_OPTS flag. When working with a range
option changes we try to pack the notifications as much as possible.

v2: do full port (all vlans) notification only when creating/deleting
    vlans for compatibility, rework the range detection when changing
    options, add more verbose extack errors and check if a vlan should
    be used (br_vlan_should_use checks)

Add a new vlandb nl attribute - BRIDGE_VLANDB_ENTRY_RANGE which causes
RTM_NEWVLAN/DELVAN to act on a range. Dumps now automatically compress
similar vlans into ranges. This will be also used when per-vlan options
are introduced and vlans' options match, they will be put into a single
range which is encapsulated in one netlink attribute. We need to run
similar checks as br_process_vlan_info() does because these ranges will
be used for options setting and they'll be able to skip
br_process_vlan_info().

 - DELVLAN: to be used for deleting vlans
 - GETVLAN: used for dumping vlan information

Dumping vlans which can span multiple messages is added now with basic
information (vid and flags). We use nlmsg_parse() to validate the header
length in order to be able to extend the message with filtering
attributes later.
