This patch extends the processing of frames in the bridge. Currently MRP
frames needs special processing and the current implementation doesn't
allow a nice way to process different frame types. Therefore try to
improve this by adding a list that contains frame types that need
special processing. This list is iterated for each input frame and if
there is a match based on frame type then these functions will be called
and decide what to do with the frame. It can process the frame then the
bridge doesn't need to do anything or don't process so then the bridge
will do normal forwarding.

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
br_mrp_ring_port_open. In this way is more clear that a ring port lost
the continuity because there will be also a br_mrp_in_port_open.

This patch adds specific checks for primary(0x0) and secondary(0x1) when
setting the port role. For any other value the function
'br_mrp_set_port_role' will return -EINVAL.

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.

When a MRP instance is deleted, then restore the port according to the
bridge state. If the bridge is up then the ports will be in forwarding
state otherwise will be in disabled state.

It is not allow to have the same net bridge port part of multiple MRP
rings. Therefore add a check if the port is used already in a different
MRP. In that case return failure.

Implement the MRP API.
In case the HW can't generate MRP Test frames then the SW will try to generate
the frames. In case that also the SW will fail in generating the frames then a
error is return to the userspace. The userspace is responsible to generate all
the other MRP frames regardless if the test frames are generated by HW or SW.
The forwarding/termination of MRP frames is happening in the kernel and is done
by the MRP instance. The userspace application doesn't do the forwarding.
