This patch extends the br_mrp_switchdev functions to be able to have a
better understanding what cause the issue and if the SW needs to be used
as a backup.
There are the following cases:
- when the code is compiled without CONFIG_NET_SWITCHDEV. In this case
return success so the SW can continue with the protocol. Depending
on the function, it returns 0 or BR_MRP_SW.
- when code is compiled with CONFIG_NET_SWITCHDEV and the driver doesn't
implement any MRP callbacks. In this case the HW can't run MRP so it
just returns -EOPNOTSUPP. So the SW will stop further to configure the
node.
- when code is compiled with CONFIG_NET_SWITCHDEV and the driver fully
supports any MRP functionality. In this case the SW doesn't need to do
anything. The functions will return 0 or BR_MRP_HW.
- when code is compiled with CONFIG_NET_SWITCHDEV and the HW can't run
completely the protocol but it can help the SW to run it. For
example, the HW can't support completely MRM role(can't detect when it
stops receiving MRP Test frames) but it can redirect these frames to
CPU. In this case it is possible to have a SW fallback. The SW will
try initially to call the driver with sw_backup set to false, meaning
that the HW should implement completely the role. If the driver returns
-EOPNOTSUPP, the SW will try again with sw_backup set to false,
meaning that the SW will detect when it stops receiving the frames but
it needs HW support to redirect the frames to CPU. In case the driver
returns 0 then the SW will continue to configure the node accordingly.

The function br_mrp_port_switchdev_set_state was called both with MRP
port state and STP port state, which is an issue because they don't
match exactly.
Therefore, update the function to be used only with STP port state and
use the id SWITCHDEV_ATTR_ID_PORT_STP_STATE.
The choice of using STP over MRP is that the drivers already implement
SWITCHDEV_ATTR_ID_PORT_STP_STATE and already in SW we update the port
STP state.

None of these are actually used in the kernel/userspace interface -
there's a userspace component of implementing MRP, and userspace will
need to construct certain frames to put on the wire, but there's no
reason the kernel should provide the relevant definitions in a UAPI
header.
In fact, some of those definitions were broken until previous commit,
so only keep the few that are actually referenced in the kernel code,
and move them to the br_private_mrp.h header.

Replace list_head with hlist_head for MRP list under the bridge.
There is no need for a circular list when a linear list will work.
This will also decrease the size of 'struct net_bridge'.

Thie patch adds support for MRP Interconnect. Similar with the MRP ring,
if the HW can't generate MRP_InTest frames, then the SW will try to
generate them. And if also the SW fails to generate the frames then an
error is return to userspace.
The forwarding/termination of MRP_In frames is happening in the kernel
and is done by MRP instances.

This patch renames the function br_mrp_port_open to

This patch extends the 'struct br_mrp' to contain information regarding
the MRP interconnect. It contains the following:
- the interconnect port 'i_port', which is NULL if the node doesn't have
a interconnect role
- the interconnect id, which is similar with the ring id, but this field
is also part of the MRP_InTest frames.
- the interconnect role, which can be MIM or MIC.
- the interconnect state, which can be open or closed.
- the interconnect delayed_work for sending MRP_InTest frames and check
for lost of continuity.

A node that has the MRA role, it can behave as MRM or MRC.
Initially it starts as MRM and sends MRP_Test frames on both ring ports.
If it detects that there are MRP_Test send by another MRM, then it
checks if these frames have a lower priority than itself. In this case
it would send MRP_Nack frames to notify the other node that it needs to
stop sending MRP_Test frames.
If it receives a MRP_Nack frame then it stops sending MRP_Test frames
and starts to behave as a MRC but it would continue to monitor the
MRP_Test frames send by MRM. If at a point the MRM stops to send
MRP_Test frames it would get the MRM role and start to send MRP_Test
frames.

Each MRP instance has a priority, a lower value means a higher priority.
The priority of MRP instance is stored in MRP_Test frame in this way
all the MRP nodes in the ring can see other nodes priority.

This patch reworks the MRP netlink interface. Before, each attribute
represented a binary structure which made it hard to be extended.
Therefore update the MRP netlink interface such that each existing
attribute to be a nested attribute which contains the fields of the
binary structures.
In this way the MRP netlink interface can be extended without breaking
the backwards compatibility. It is also using strict checking for
attributes under the MRP top attribute.

Define the MRP interface.
This interface is used by the netlink to update the MRP instances and by the MRP
to make the calls to switchdev to offload it to HW.
It defines an MRP instance 'struct br_mrp' which is a list of MRP instances.
Which will be part of the 'struct net_bridge'. Each instance has 2 ring ports,
a bridge and an ID.
In case the HW can't generate MRP Test frames then the SW will generate those.
br_mrp_add - adds a new MRP instance.
br_mrp_del - deletes an existing MRP instance. Each instance has an ID(ring_id).
br_mrp_set_port_state - changes the port state. The port can be in forwarding
state, which means that the frames can pass through or in blocked state which
means that the frames can't pass through except MRP frames. This will
eventually call the switchdev API to notify the HW. This information is used
also by the SW bridge to know how to forward frames in case the HW doesn't
have this capability.
br_mrp_set_port_role - a port role can be primary or secondary. This
information is required to be pushed to HW in case the HW can generate
MRP_Test frames. Because the MRP_Test frames contains a file with this
information. Otherwise the HW will not be able to generate the frames
correctly.
br_mrp_set_ring_state - a ring can be in state open or closed. State open means
that the mrp port stopped receiving MRP_Test frames, while closed means that
the mrp port received MRP_Test frames. Similar with br_mrp_port_role, this
information is pushed in HW because the MRP_Test frames contain this
information.
br_mrp_set_ring_role - a ring can have the following roles MRM or MRC. For the
role MRM it is expected that the HW can terminate the MRP frames, notify the
SW that it stopped receiving MRP_Test frames and trapp all the other MRP
frames. While for MRC mode it is expected that the HW can forward the MRP
frames only between the MRP ports and copy MRP_Topology frames to CPU. In
case the HW doesn't support a role it needs to return an error code different
than -EOPNOTSUPP.
br_mrp_start_test - this starts/stops the generation of MRP_Test frames. To stop
the generation of frames the interval needs to have a value of 0. In this case
the userspace needs to know if the HW supports this or not. Not to have
duplicate frames(generated by HW and SW). Because if the HW supports this then
the SW will not generate anymore frames and will expect that the HW will
notify when it stopped receiving MRP frames using the function
br_mrp_port_open.
br_mrp_port_open - this function is used by drivers to notify the userspace via
a netlink callback that one of the ports stopped receiving MRP_Test frames.
This function is called only when the node has the role MRM. It is not
supposed to be called from userspace.
br_mrp_port_switchdev_add - this corresponds to the function br_mrp_add,
and will notify the HW that a MRP instance is added. The function gets
as parameter the MRP instance.
br_mrp_port_switchdev_del - this corresponds to the function br_mrp_del,
and will notify the HW that a MRP instance is removed. The function
gets as parameter the ID of the MRP instance that is removed.
br_mrp_port_switchdev_set_state - this corresponds to the function
br_mrp_set_port_state. It would notify the HW if it should block or not
non-MRP frames.
br_mrp_port_switchdev_set_port - this corresponds to the function
br_mrp_set_port_role. It would set the port role, primary or secondary.
br_mrp_switchdev_set_role - this corresponds to the function
br_mrp_set_ring_role and would set one of the role MRM or MRC.
br_mrp_switchdev_set_ring_state - this corresponds to the function
br_mrp_set_ring_state and would set the ring to be open or closed.
br_mrp_switchdev_send_ring_test - this corresponds to the function
br_mrp_start_test. This will notify the HW to start or stop generating
MRP_Test frames. Value 0 for the interval parameter means to stop generating
the frames.
br_mrp_port_open - this function is used to notify the userspace that the port
lost the continuity of MRP Test frames.
