geneve: add rtnl changelink support
This patch adds changelink rtnl operation support for geneve devices and the code changes involve: - added geneve_quiesce() which quiesces the geneve device data path for both TX and RX. This lets us perform the changelink operation atomically w.r.t data path. Also added geneve_unquiesce() to reverse the operation of geneve_quiesce(). - refactor geneve_newlink into geneve_nl2info to be used by both geneve_newlink and geneve_changelink - geneve_nl2info takes a changelink boolean argument to isolate changelink checks. - Allow changing only a few attributes (ttl, tos, and remote tunnel endpoint IP address (within the same address family)): - return -EOPNOTSUPP for attributes that cannot be changed for now. Incremental patches can make the non-supported one available in the future if needed.
