networking: make skb_put & friends return void pointers

It seems like a historic accident that these return unsigned char *,
and in many places that means casts are required, more often than not.

Make these functions (skb_put, __skb_put and pskb_put) return void *
and remove all the casts across the tree, adding a (u8 *) cast only
where the unsigned char pointer was used directly, all done with the
following spatch:

    @@
    expression SKB, LEN;
    typedef u8;
    identifier fn = { skb_put, __skb_put };
    @@
    - *(fn(SKB, LEN))
    + *(u8 *)fn(SKB, LEN)

    @@
    expression E, SKB, LEN;
    identifier fn = { skb_put, __skb_put };
    type T;
    @@
    - E = ((T *)(fn(SKB, LEN)))
    + E = fn(SKB, LEN)

which actually doesn't cover pskb_put since there are only three
users overall.

A handful of stragglers were converted manually, notably a macro in
drivers/isdn/i4l/isdn_bsdcomp.c and, oddly enough, one of the many
instances in net/bluetooth/hci_sock.c. In the former file, I also
had to fix one whitespace problem spatch introduced.

net: Introduce psample, a new genetlink channel for packet sampling

Add a general way for kernel modules to sample packets, without being tied
to any specific subsystem. This netlink channel can be used by tc,
iptables, etc. and allow to standardize packet sampling in the kernel.

For every sampled packet, the psample module adds the following metadata
fields:

PSAMPLE_ATTR_IIFINDEX - the packets input ifindex, if applicable

PSAMPLE_ATTR_OIFINDEX - the packet output ifindex, if applicable

PSAMPLE_ATTR_ORIGSIZE - the packet's original size, in case it has been
   truncated during sampling

PSAMPLE_ATTR_SAMPLE_GROUP - the packet's sample group, which is set by the
   user who initiated the sampling. This field allows the user to
   differentiate between several samplers working simultaneously and
   filter packets relevant to him

PSAMPLE_ATTR_GROUP_SEQ - sequence counter of last sent packet. The
   sequence is kept for each group

PSAMPLE_ATTR_SAMPLE_RATE - the sampling rate used for sampling the packets

PSAMPLE_ATTR_DATA - the actual packet bits

The sampled packets are sent to the PSAMPLE_NL_MCGRP_SAMPLE multicast
group. In addition, add the GET_GROUPS netlink command which allows the
user to see the current sample groups, their refcount and sequence number.
This command currently supports only netlink dump mode.
