net: provide a per host RSS key generic infrastructure

Browse Source 
RSS (Receive Side Scaling) typically uses Toeplitz hash and a 40 or 52 bytes
RSS key.

Some drivers use a constant (and well known key), some drivers use a random
key per port, making bonding setups hard to tune. Well known keys increase
attack surface, considering that number of queues is usually a power of two.

This patch provides infrastructure to help drivers doing the right thing.

netdev_rss_key_fill() should be used by drivers to initialize their RSS key,
even if they provide ethtool -X support to let user redefine the key later.

A new /proc/sys/net/core/netdev_rss_key file can be used to get the host
RSS key even for drivers not providing ethtool -x support, in case some
applications want to precisely setup flows to match some RX queues.

Tested:

myhost:~# cat /proc/sys/net/core/netdev_rss_key
11:63:99:bb:79:fb:a5:a7:07:45:b2:20:bf:02:42:2d:08:1a:dd:19:2b:6b:23:ac:56:28:9d:70:c3:ac:e8:16:4b:b7:c1:10:53:a4:78:41:36:40:74:b6:15:ca:27:44:aa:b3:4d:72

netdev_rss_key
--------------
RSS (Receive Side Scaling) enabled drivers use a 40 bytes host key that is
randomly generated.
Some user space might need to gather its content even if drivers do not
provide ethtool -x support yet.
myhost:~# cat /proc/sys/net/core/netdev_rss_key
84:50:f4:00:a8:15:d1:a7:e9:7f:1d:60:35:c7:47:25:42:97:74:ca:56:bb:b6:a1:d8: ... (52 bytes total)
File contains nul bytes if no driver ever called netdev_rss_key_fill() function.
Note:
/proc/sys/net/core/netdev_rss_key contains 52 bytes of key,
but most drivers only use 40 bytes of it.
