running bonding in ALB mode requires that learning packets be sent periodically,
so that the switch knows where to send responding traffic. However, depending
on switch configuration, there may not be any need to send traffic at the
default rate of 3 packets per second, which represents little more than wasted
data. Allow the ALB learning packet interval to be made configurable via sysfs

Currently, if there are vlans on top of bond, alb_send_learning_packets()
will never send LPs from the bond itself (i.e. untagged), which might leave
untagged clients unupdated.
Also, the 'circular vlan' logic (i.e. update only MAX_LP_BURST vlans at a
time, and save the last vlan for the next update) is really suboptimal - in
case of lots of vlans it will take a lot of time to update every vlan. It
is also never called in any hot path and sends only a few small packets -
thus the optimization by itself is useless.
So remove the whole current_alb_vlan/MAX_LP_BURST logic from
alb_send_learning_packets(). Instead, we'll first send a packet untagged
and then traverse the upper dev list, sending a tagged packet for each vlan
found. Also, remove the MAX_LP_BURST define - we already don't need it.

Bonding in balance-alb mode records information from ARP packets
passing through the bond in a hash table (rx_hashtbl).
At certain situations (e.g. link change of a slave),
rlb_update_rx_clients() will send out ARP packets to update ARP
caches of other hosts on the network to achieve RX load
balancing.
The problem is that once an IP address is recorded in the hash
table, it stays there indefinitely. If this IP address is
migrated to a different host in the network, bonding still sends
out ARP packets that poison other systems' ARP caches with
invalid information.
This patch solves this by looking at all incoming ARP packets,
and checking if the source IP address is one of the source
addresses stored in the rx_hashtbl. If it is, but the MAC
addresses differ, the corresponding hash table entries are
removed. Thus, when an IP address is migrated, the first ARP
broadcast by its new owner will purge the offending entries of
rx_hashtbl.
The hash table is hashed by ip_dst. To be able to do the above
check efficiently (not walking the whole hash table), we need a
reverse mapping (by ip_src).
I added three new members in struct rlb_client_info:
rx_hashtbl[x].src_first will point to the start of a list of
entries for which hash(ip_src) == x.
The list is linked with src_next and src_prev.
When an incoming ARP packet arrives at rlb_arp_recv()
rlb_purge_src_ip() can quickly walk only the entries on the
corresponding lists, i.e. the entries that are likely to contain
the offending IP address.
To avoid confusion, I renamed these existing fields of struct
rlb_client_info:
next -> used_next
prev -> used_prev
rx_hashtbl_head -> rx_hashtbl_used_head
(The current linked list is _not_ a list of hash table
entries with colliding ip_dst. It's a list of entries that are
being used; its purpose is to avoid walking the whole hash table
when looking for used entries.)

Since now when bonding uses rx_handler, all traffic going into bond
device goes thru bond_handle_frame. So there's no need to go back into
bonding code later via ptype handlers. This patch converts
original ptype handlers into "bonding receive probes". These functions
are called from bond_handle_frame and they are registered per-mode.
Note that vlan packets are also handled because they are always untagged
thanks to vlan_untag()
Note that this also allows arpmon for eth-bond-bridge-vlan topology.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
