Whenever we enter the IP stack proper from bridge netfilter we
need to ensure that the skb is in a form the IP stack expects
it to be in.
The entry point on NF_FORWARD did not meet the requirements of
the IP stack, therefore leading to potential crashes/panics.
This patch fixes the problem.

Commit c95b819ad7 (gre: Use needed_headroom)
made gre use needed_headroom instead of hard_header_len
This uncover a bug in vlan code.
We should make sure vlan devices take into account their
real_dev->needed_headroom or we risk a crash in ipgre_header(), because
we dont have enough room to push IP header in skb.

struct aunhdr has 4 padding bytes between 'pad' and 'handle' fields on
x86_64. These bytes are not initialized in the variable 'ah' before
sending 'ah' to the network. This leads to 4 bytes kernel stack
infoleak.
This bug was introduced before the git epoch.

RPC task RPC_TASK_QUEUED bit is set must be checked before trying to wake up
task rpc_killall_tasks() because task->tk_waitqueue can not be set (equal to
NULL).
Also, as Trond Myklebust mentioned, such approach (instead of checking
tk_waitqueue to NULL) allows us to "optimise away the call to
rpc_wake_up_queued_task() altogether for those
tasks that aren't queued".
Here is an example of dereferencing of tk_waitqueue equal to NULL:

We return a destination entry without refcount if a socket
policy is found in xfrm_lookup. This triggers a warning on
a negative refcount when freeeing this dst entry. So take
a refcount in this case to fix it.

instead of policies for outgoing flows.

ECN support incorrectly maps ECN BESTEFFORT packets to TC_PRIO_FILLER
(1) instead of TC_PRIO_BESTEFFORT (0)
This means ECN enabled flows are placed in pfifo_fast/prio low priority
band, giving ECN enabled flows [ECT(0) and CE codepoints] higher drop
probabilities.
This is rather unfortunate, given we would like ECN being more widely
used.

If a transport prefers payload to be sent separate from the PDU
(P9_TRANS_PREF_PAYLOAD_SEP), there is no need to allocate msize
PDU buffers(struct p9_fcall).
This patch allocates only upto 4k buffers for this kind of transports
and there won't be any change to the legacy transports.
Hence, this patch on top of zero copy changes allows user to
specify higher msizes through the mount option
without hogging the kernel heap.

This takes care of copying out error buffers from user buffer
payloads when we are using zero copy. This happens because the
only payload buffer the server has to respond to the request is
the user buffer given for the zero copy read.
Because we only use zerocopy when the amount of data to transfer
is greater than a certain size (currently 4K) and error strings are
limited to ERRMAX (currently 128) we don't need to worry about there
being sufficient space for the error to fit in the payload.

This patch prepares p9_fcall structure for zero copy. Added
fields send the payload buffer information to the transport layer.
In addition it adds a 'private' field for the transport layer to
store mapped/pinned page information so that it can be freed/unpinned
during req_done.
This patch also creates trans_common.[ch] to house helper functions.
It adds the following helper functions.
p9_release_req_pages - Release pages after the transaction.
p9_nr_pages - Return number of pages needed to accomodate the payload.
payload_gup - Translates user buffer into kernel pages.
