net_sched: add TCA_STATS_PKT64 attribute

we want to export these counters to user space.

Instead risking breaking user space by adding fields
to struct gnet_stats_basic, add a new TCA_STATS_PKT64.

net/core: Add new basic hardware counter

Add a new hardware specific basic counter, TCA_STATS_BASIC_HW. This can
be used to count packets/bytes processed by hardware offload.

License cleanup: add SPDX license identifier to uapi header files with no license

License cleanup: add SPDX license identifier to uapi header files with no license

Many user space API headers are missing licensing information, which
makes it hard for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default are files without license information under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPLV2. Marking them GPLV2 would exclude
them from being included in non GPLV2 code, which is obviously not
intended. The user space API headers fall under the syscall exception
which is in the kernels COPYING file:

NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel
services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use
of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work".

otherwise syscall usage would not be possible.

Update the files which contain no license information with an SPDX
license identifier. The chosen identifier is 'GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note' which is the officially assigned identifier for the
Linux syscall exception. SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne. See the previous patch in this series for the
methodology of how this patch was researched.

net_sched: add 64bit rate estimators

net_sched: add 64bit rate estimators

struct gnet_stats_rate_est contains u32 fields, so the bytes per second
field can wrap at 34360Mbit.

Add a new gnet_stats_rate_est64 structure to get 64bit bps/pps fields,
and switch the kernel to use this structure natively.

This structure is dumped to user space as a new attribute :

TCA_STATS_RATE_EST64

Old tc command will now display the capped bps (to 34360Mbit), instead
of wrapped values, and updated tc command will display correct
information.

Old tc command output, after patch :

eric:~# tc -s -d qd sh dev lo
qdisc pfifo 8001: root refcnt 2 limit 1000p
Sent 80868245400 bytes 1978837 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0)
rate 34360Mbit 189696pps backlog 0b 0p requeues 0

This patch carefully reorganizes "struct Qdisc" layout to get optimal
performance on SMP.
