The patch adds support for erspan version 2. Not all features are
supported in this patch. The SGT (security group tag), GRA (timestamp
granularity), FT (frame type) are set to fixed value. Only hardware
ID and direction are configurable. Optional subheader is also not
supported.

The patch refactors the existing erspan implementation in order
to support erspan version 2, which has additional metadata. So, in
stead of having one 'struct erspanhdr' holding erspan version 1,
breaks it into 'struct erspan_base_hdr' and 'struct erspan_metadata'.

Move two erspan functions to header file, erspan.h, so ipv6
erspan implementation can use it.

The patch adds ERSPAN type II tunnel support. The implementation
is based on the draft at [1]. One of the purposes is for Linux
box to be able to receive ERSPAN monitoring traffic sent from
the Cisco switch, by creating a ERSPAN tunnel device.
In addition, the patch also adds ERSPAN TX, so Linux virtual
switch can redirect monitored traffic to the ERSPAN tunnel device.
The traffic will be encapsulated into ERSPAN and sent out.
The implementation reuses tunnel key as ERSPAN session ID, and
field 'erspan' as ERSPAN Index fields:
./ip link add dev ers11 type erspan seq key 100 erspan 123 \
local 172.16.1.200 remote 172.16.1.100
To use the above device as ERSPAN receiver, configure
Nexus 5000 switch as below:
monitor session 100 type erspan-source
erspan-id 123
vrf default
destination ip 172.16.1.200
source interface Ethernet1/11 both
source interface Ethernet1/12 both
no shut
monitor erspan origin ip-address 172.16.1.100 global
