We have very similar code for rx statistics in
two places in the macvlan driver, with a third
one being added in the next patch.
Consolidate them into one function to improve
overall readability of the driver.

drivers/net/macvlan.c | 70 +++
The veth driver contains code to forward an skb
from the start_xmit function of one network
device into the receive path of another device.
Moving that code into a common location lets us
reuse the code for direct forwarding of data
between macvlan ports, and possibly in other
drivers.

In order to support all three modes of macvlan at
runtime, extend the existing netlink protocol
to allow choosing the mode per macvlan slave
interface.
This depends on a matching patch to iproute2
in order to become accessible in user land.

drivers/net/macvlan.c
This allows each macvlan slave device to be in one
of three modes, depending on the use case:
MACVLAN_PRIVATE:
The device never communicates with any other device
on the same upper_dev. This even includes frames
coming back from a reflective relay, where supported
by the adjacent bridge.
Not many changes this time, just integrated a bug fix
and all the coding style feedback from Eric Dumazet
and Patrick McHardy.
I'll keep the patch for network namespaces on the tx
path out of this series for now, because the discussion
is still ongoing and it addresses an unrelated issue.
