Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.

Currently netlink users BUG when the allocated skb for an event
notification is undersized. While this is certainly a kernel bug,
its not critical and crashing the kernel is too drastic, especially
when considering that these errors have appeared multiple times in
the past and it BUGs even if no listeners are present.
This patch replaces BUG by WARN_ON and changes the notification
functions to inform potential listeners of undersized allocations
using a unique error code (EMSGSIZE).

Join all-node multicast group after assignment of dev->ip6_ptr

It is important that we only assign dev->ip{,6}_ptr
only after all portions of the inet{,6} are setup.
Otherwise we can receive packets before the multicast
spinlocks et al. are initialized.

By replacing the current method of exporting the device configuration
which included allocating a temporary buffer, copying ipv6_devconf
into it and copying that buffer into the message with a method that
uses nla_reserve() allowing to copy the device configuration directly
into the skb data buffer, a GFP_ATOMIC allocation could be removed.

Account for the netlink message header size directly in nlmsg_new()
instead of relying on the caller calculate it correctly.
Replaces error handling of message construction functions when
constructing notifications with bug traps since a failure implies
a bug in calculating the size of the skb.

IFA_F_HOMEADDRESS is introduced for Mobile IPv6 Home Addresses on
Mobile Node.
The IFA_F_HOMEADDRESS flag should be set for Mobile IPv6 Home
Addresses for 2 purposes. 1) We need to check this on receipt of
Type 2 Routing Header (RFC3775 Secion 6.4), 2) We prefer Home
Address(es) in source address selection (RFC3484 Section 5 Rule 4).

This flag should be set to Mobile IPv6 Home Address(es) on Mobile

iproute2 doesn't provide the NLM_F_CREATE flag when adding addresses,
it is assumed to be implied. The existing code issues a check on
said flag when the modify operation fails (likely due to ENOENT)
before continueing to create it, this leads to a hard to predict
result, therefore the NLM_F_CREATE check is removed.

ipv6_add_addr allocates a struct inet6_ifaddr and a dstentry, but it
doesn't install the dstentry in ifa->rt until after it releases the
addrconf_hash_lock. This means other CPUs will be able to see the new
address while it hasn't been initialized completely yet.
One possible fix would be to grab the ifp->lock spinlock when
creating the address struct; a simpler fix is to just move the
assignment.

In the source address selection, the address must be sorted
from global to node-local.
But, ifp->scope is different from the scope for source address
selection.
2001::1 fe80::1 ::1
ifp->scope 0 0x02 0x01
ipv6_addr_src_scope(&ifp->addr) 0x0e 0x02 0x01
So, we need to use ipv6_addr_src_scope(&ifp->addr) for sorting.
And, for backward compatibility, addresses should be sorted from
new one to old one.
