geneve: add rtnl changelink support
This patch adds changelink rtnl operation support for geneve devices
and the code changes involve:
- added geneve_quiesce() which quiesces the geneve device data path
for both TX and RX. This lets us perform the changelink operation
atomically w.r.t data path. Also added geneve_unquiesce() to
reverse the operation of geneve_quiesce().
- refactor geneve_newlink into geneve_nl2info to be used by both
geneve_newlink and geneve_changelink
- geneve_nl2info takes a changelink boolean argument to isolate
changelink checks.
- Allow changing only a few attributes (ttl, tos, and remote tunnel
endpoint IP address (within the same address family)):
- return -EOPNOTSUPP for attributes that cannot be changed for
now. Incremental patches can make the non-supported one
available in the future if needed.
