netns: Fix crash by making igmp per namespace
This patch makes the multicast socket to be per namespace.
When a network namespace is created, other than the init_net and a
multicast packet is received, the kernel goes to a hang or a kernel panic.
How to reproduce ?
* create a child network namespace
* create a pair virtual device veth
* ip link add type veth
* move one side to the pair network device to the child namespace
* ip link set netns <childpid> dev veth1
* ping -I veth0 224.0.0.1
The bug appears because the function ip_mc_init_dev does not initialize
the different multicast fields as it exits because it is not the init_net.

ipvs: Fix possible deadlock in sync code
Commit 998e7a76804b7a273a0460c2cdd5a51fa9856717 ("ipvs: Use kthread_run()
instead of doing a double-fork via kernel_thread()") introduced a possible
deadlock in the sync code. We need to use the _bh versions for the lock, as the
lock is also accessed from a bottom half.

udp: Drop socket lock for encapsulated packets
The socket lock is there to protect the normal UDP receive path.
Encapsulation UDP sockets don't need that protection. In fact
the locking is deadly for them as they may contain another UDP
packet within, possibly with the same addresses.
Also the nested bit was copied from TCP. TCP needs it because
of accept(2) spawning sockets. This simply doesn't apply to UDP
so I've removed it.

[Bluetooth] Add parameters to control BNEP header compression
The Bluetooth qualification for PAN demands testing with BNEP header
compression disabled. This is actually pretty stupid and the Linux
implementation outsmarts the test system since it compresses whenever
possible. So to pass qualification two need parameters have been added
to control the compression of source and destination headers.

Now we deal with mesh forwarding before the 802.11->802.3 conversion, thus
eliminating a few unnecessary steps. The next hop lookup is called from
ieee80211_master_start_xmit() instead of subif_start_xmit(). Until the next hop
is found, RA in the frame will be all zeroes for frames originating from the
device. For forwarded frames, RA will contain the TA of the received frame,
which will be necessary to send a path error if a next hop is not found.

p54: Fix for TX sequence number problem
Following "mac80211: fix TX sequence numbers", if a packet
has the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_ASSIGN_SEQ assigned, a sequence number must be
supplied, either by hardware or software. AFAIK, no such hardware exists
for the p54, thus it must be done in software. With this patch, a connection
qith p54usb is stable, whereas the interface went off-line in 2-3 hours
without this change. Note that this code will have to be reworked for proper
sequence numbers on beacons. In addition, the sequence number has been placed
in the hardware state, not the vif state.

pktgen: multiqueue etc.
Sofar far pktgen have had a restriction to only use one device per kernel
thread. With the new multiqueue architecture this is no longer adequate.
The patch below is an effort to remove this by in pktgen configuration
adding a tag to the device name a la eth0@0 etc. The tag is used for
usual device config just as before. Also a new flag is introduced to mirror
queue_map with sending threads smp_processor_id() QUEUE_MAP_CPU.
An example: We use 4 CPU's to send to one 10g interface (eth0)
and we use the new tagging to send a mix of packet sizes, 64, 576 and
1500 bytes. Also we use TX queues according to smp_processor_id()
