This patch adds full IPv6 addresses into flow_keys and uses them as
input to the flow hash function. The implementation supports either
IPv4 or IPv6 addresses in a union, and selector is used to determine
how may words to input to jhash2.
We also add flow_get_u32_dst and flow_get_u32_src functions which are
used to get a u32 representation of the source and destination
addresses. For IPv6, ipv6_addr_hash is called. These functions retain
getting the legacy values of src and dst in flow_keys.
With this patch, Ethertype and IP protocol are now included in the
flow hash input.

This patch changes flow hashing to use jhash2 over the flow_keys
structure instead just doing jhash_3words over src, dst, and ports.
This method will allow us take more input into the hashing function
so that we can include full IPv6 addresses, VLAN, flow labels etc.
without needing to resort to xor'ing which makes for a poor hash.

So far, only hashes made out of ipv6 addresses could be dissected. This
patch introduces support for dissection of full ipv6 addresses.

Introduce dissector infrastructure which allows user to specify which
parts of skb he wants to dissect.

Since the definition of the function is in flow_dissector.c, it makes
sense to have the declaration in flow_dissector.h

Since these functions are defined in flow_dissector.c, move header
declarations from skbuff.h into flow_dissector.h

commit 56193d1bce ("net: Add function for parsing the header length out
of linear ethernet frames") added this function declaration but it is
defined nowhere.
