This patch adapts the tc command line interface to allow bandwidth limits
to be specified as a percentage of the interface's capacity.
Adding this functionality requires passing the specified device string to
each class/qdisc which changes the prototype for a couple of functions: the
.parse_qopt and .parse_copt interfaces. The device string is a required
parameter for tc-qdisc and tc-class, and when not specified, the kernel
returns ENODEV. In this patch, if the user tries to specify a bandwidth
percentage without naming the device, we return an error from userspace.

The AF_VSOCK address family is a host<->guest communications channel
supported by VMware, KVM, and Hyper-V. Initial VMware support was
released in Linux 3.9 in 2013 and transports for other hypervisors were
added later.
AF_VSOCK addresses are <u32 cid, u32 port> tuples. The 32-bit cid
integer is comparable to an IP address. AF_VSOCK ports work like
TCP/UDP ports.
Both SOCK_STREAM and SOCK_DGRAM socket types are available.
This patch adds AF_VSOCK support to ss(8) so that sockets can be
observed.

The patch adds ERSPAN type II tunnel support. The implementation is
based on the draft at
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-foschiano-erspan-01.
One of the purposes is for Linux box to be able to receive ERSPAN
monitoring traffic sent from the Cisco switch, by creating a ERSPAN
tunnel device. In addition, the patch also adds ERSPAN TX, so traffic
can also be encapsulated into ERSPAN and sent out.
The implementation reuses the key as ERSPAN session ID, and
field 'erspan' as ERSPAN Index fields:
./ip link add dev ers11 type erspan seq key 100 erspan 123 \
local 172.16.1.200 remote 172.16.1.100
