Perform header flags validation through the policy.
Only pause command supports ETHTOOL_FLAG_STATS. Create a separate
policy to be able to express that in policy dumps to user space.
Note that even though the core will validate the header policy,
it cannot record multiple layers of attributes and we have to
re-parse header sub-attrs. When doing so we could skip attribute
validation, or use most permissive policy. Opt for the former.
We will no longer return the extack cookie for flags but since
we only added first new flag in this release it's not expected
that any user space had a chance to make use of it.
v2: - remove the re-validation in ethnl_parse_header_dev_get()

To get the most out of parsing by the core, and to allow dumping
full policies we need to specify which policy applies to nested
attrs. For headers it's ethnl_header_policy.
$ sed -i 's@\(ETHTOOL_A_.*HEADER\].*=\) { .type = NLA_NESTED },@\1\n\t\tNLA_POLICY_NESTED(ethnl_header_policy),@' net/ethtool/*

Since ethtool uses strict attribute validation there's no need
to initialize all attributes in policy tables. 0 is NLA_UNSPEC
which is going to be rejected. Remove the NLA_REJECTs.
Similarly attributes above maxattrs are rejected, so there's
no need to always size the policy tables to ETHTOOL_A_..._MAX.
v2: - new patch

Similarly to get commands wire up the policies of set commands
to get parsing by the core and policy dumps.

Wire up policies for get commands in struct nla_policy of the ethtool
family. Make use of genetlink code attr validation and parsing, as well
as allow dumping policies to user space.
For every ETHTOOL_MSG_*_GET:
- add 'ethnl_' prefix to policy name
- add extern declaration in net/ethtool/netlink.h
- wire up the policy & attr in ethtool_genl_ops[].
- remove .request_policy and .max_attr from ethnl_request_ops.
Obviously core only records the first "layer" of parsed attrs
so we still need to parse the sub-attrs of the nested header
attribute.
v2:
- merge of patches 1 and 2 from v1
- remove stray empty lines in ops
- also remove .max_attr

Currently drivers have to report their pause frames statistics
via ethtool -S, and there is a wide variety of names used for
these statistics.
Add the two statistics defined in IEEE 802.3x to the standard
API. Create a new ethtool request header flag for including
statistics in the response to GET commands.
Always create the ETHTOOL_A_PAUSE_STATS nest in replies when
flag is set. Testing if driver declares the op is not a reliable
way of checking if any stats will actually be included and therefore
we don't want to give the impression that presence of
ETHTOOL_A_PAUSE_STATS indicates driver support.
Note that this patch does not include PFC counters, which may fit
better in dcbnl? But mostly I don't need them/have a setup to test
them so I haven't looked deeply into exposing them :)
v3:
- add a helper for "uninitializing" stats, rather than a cryptic
memset() (Andrew)
