xen-netback: switch to NAPI + kthread 1:1 model

This series implements NAPI + kthread 1:1 model for Xen netback.

This model
 - provides better scheduling fairness among vifs
 - is prerequisite for implementing multiqueue for Xen network driver

The second patch has the real meat:
 - make use of NAPI to mitigate interrupt
 - kthreads are not bound to CPUs any more, so that we can take
   advantage of backend scheduler and trust it to do the right thing

Benchmark is done on a Dell T3400 workstation with 4 cores, running 4
DomUs. Netserver runs in Dom0. DomUs do netperf to Dom0 with
following command: /root/netperf -H Dom0 -fm -l120

IRQs are distributed to 4 cores by hand in the new model, while in the
old model vifs are automatically distributed to 4 kthreads.

* New model

Throughputs: 1899.14 2280.43 1963.33 1893.47 aggregated: 8036.37

We can see that the impact is mainly on CPU usage. The new model moves
processing from kthread to NAPI (software interrupt).

This patch implements 1:1 model netback. NAPI and kthread are utilized
to do the weight-lifting job:

- NAPI is used for guest side TX (host side RX)
- kthread is used for guest side RX (host side TX)

Xenvif and xen_netbk are made into one structure to reduce code size.

This model provides better scheduling fairness among vifs. It is also

Add a SYNPROXY for netfilter. The code is split into two parts, the synproxy
core with common functions and an address family specific target.

The SYNPROXY receives the connection request from the client, responds with
a SYN/ACK containing a SYN cookie and announcing a zero window and checks
whether the final ACK from the client contains a valid cookie.

It then establishes a connection to the original destination and, if
successful, sends a window update to the client with the window size
announced by the server.

Support for timestamps, SACK, window scaling and MSS options can be
statically configured as target parameters if the features of the server
are known. If timestamps are used, the timestamp value sent back to
the client in the SYN/ACK will be different from the real timestamp of
the server. In order to now break PAWS, the timestamps are translated in
the direction server->client.

As reported by Casper Gripenberg, in a bridged setup, using ip[6]t_REJECT
with the tcp-reset option sends out reset packets with the src MAC address
of the local bridge interface, instead of the MAC address of the intended
destination.  This causes some routers/firewalls to drop the reset packet
as it appears to be spoofed.  Fix this by bypassing ip[6]_local_out and
setting the MAC of the sender in the tcp reset packet.

Currently, the tcp_probe snooper can either filter packets by a given
port (handed to the module via module parameter e.g. port=80) or lets
all TCP traffic pass (port=0, default). When a port is specified, the
port number is tested against the sk's source/destination port. Thus,
if one of them matches, the information will be further processed for
the log.

As this is quite limited, allow for more advanced filtering possibilities
which can facilitate debugging/analysis with the help of the tcp_probe
snooper. Therefore, similarly as added to BPF machine in commit 7e75f93e
("pkt_sched: ingress socket filter by mark"), add the possibility to
use skb->mark as a filter.

If the mark is not being used otherwise, this allows ingress filtering
by flow (e.g. in order to track updates from only a single flow, or a
subset of all flows for a given port) and other things such as dynamic
logging and reconfiguration without removing/re-inserting the tcp_probe
module, etc. Simple example:

  insmod net/ipv4/tcp_probe.ko fwmark=8888 full=1
  ...
  iptables -A INPUT -i eth4 -t mangle -p tcp --dport 22 \
           --sport 60952 -j MARK --set-mark 8888
  [... sampling interval ...]
  iptables -D INPUT -i eth4 -t mangle -p tcp --dport 22 \
           --sport 60952 -j MARK --set-mark 8888

The current option to filter by a given port is still being preserved. A
similar approach could be done for the sctp_probe module as a follow-up.
