We have helper routines to support nested attribute addition into
netlink buffer: use them instead of open coding.
Use addattr_nest_compat()/addattr_nest_compat_end() where appropriate.

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.

This patch was previously submitted as RFC. Submitting this as
non-RFC now that the tc/mqprio changes are accepted in net-next.
Adds new mqprio options for 'mode' and 'shaper'. The mode
option can take values for offload modes such as 'dcb' (default),
'channel' with the 'hw' option set to 1. The new 'channel' mode
supports offloading TCs and other queue configurations. The
'shaper' option is to support HW shapers ('dcb' default) and
takes the value 'bw_rlimit' for bandwidth rate limiting. The
parameters to the bw_rlimit shaper are minimum and maximum
bandwidth rates. New HW shapers in future can be supported
through the shaper attribute.
