net: dev: add skb drop reasons to net/core/dev.c
In the commit c504e5c2f964 ("net: skb: introduce kfree_skb_reason()"),
we added the support of reporting the reasons of skb drops to kfree_skb
tracepoint. And in this series patches, reasons for skb drops are added
to the link layer, which means that 'net/core/dev.c' is our target.
Following functions are processed:
sch_handle_egress()
__dev_xmit_skb()
enqueue_to_backlog()
do_xdp_generic()
sch_handle_ingress()
__netif_receive_skb_core()
and following new drop reasons are added (what they mean can be see in
the document of them):
SKB_DROP_REASON_QDISC_EGRESS
SKB_DROP_REASON_QDISC_DROP
SKB_DROP_REASON_CPU_BACKLOG
SKB_DROP_REASON_XDP
SKB_DROP_REASON_QDISC_INGRESS
SKB_DROP_REASON_PTYPE_ABSENT
In order to add skb drop reasons to kfree_skb_list(), the function
kfree_skb_list_reason() is introduced in the 2th patch, which will be
used in __dev_xmit_skb() in the 3th patch.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
