Adding GTP device through ip link creates the situation where GTP instance is not able to send GTP echo requests. Echo requests are used to check if GTP peer is still alive. With this patch, gtp_genl_ops are extended by new cmd (GTP_CMD_ECHOREQ) which allows to send echo request in the given version of GTP protocol (v0 or v1), from the given ms address to he given peer. TID is not inclued because in all path management messages it should be equal to 0. When GTP echo response is detected, multicast message is send to everyone in the gtp_genl_family. Message contains GTP version, ms address and peer address.

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.
