net: Initial nexthop code
Barebones start point for nexthops. Implementation for RTM commands, notifications, management of rbtree for holding nexthops by id, and kernel side data structures for nexthops and nexthop config. Nexthops are maintained in an rbtree sorted by id. Similar to routes, nexthops are configured per namespace using netns_nexthop struct added to struct net. Nexthop notifications are sent when a nexthop is added or deleted, but NOT if the delete is due to a device event or network namespace teardown (which also involves device events). Applications are expected to use the device down event to flush nexthops and any routes used by the nexthops. Signed-off-by: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
