Adding GTP device through ip link creates the situation where
GTP instance is not able to send GTP echo requests.
Echo requests are used to check if GTP peer is still alive.
With this patch, gtp_genl_ops are extended by new cmd (GTP_CMD_ECHOREQ)
which allows to send echo request in the given version of GTP
protocol (v0 or v1), from the given ms address to he given
peer. TID is not inclued because in all path management
messages it should be equal to 0.
When GTP echo response is detected, multicast message is
send to everyone in the gtp_genl_family. Message contains
GTP version, ms address and peer address.

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.

This is a mostly cosmetic rename of the SGSN netlink attribute to
the GTP link. The justification for this is that we will be making
the module support decapsulation of "downstream" SGSN packets, in
which case the netlink parameter actually refers to the upstream GGSN
peer. Renaming the parameter makes the relationship clearer.
The legacy name is maintained as a define in the header file in order
to not break existing code.

Fix clang build warning:
./include/uapi/linux/gtp.h:1:9: warning: '_UAPI_LINUX_GTP_H_' is
used as a header guard here, followed by #define of a different
macro [-Wheader-guard]
fix by defining _UAPI_LINUX_GTP_H_ and not _UAPI_LINUX_GTP_H__

This is an initial implementation of a netdev driver for GTP datapath
(GTP-U) v0 and v1, according to the GSM TS 09.60 and 3GPP TS 29.060
standards. This tunneling protocol is used to prevent subscribers from
accessing mobile carrier core network infrastructure.
This implementation requires a GGSN userspace daemon that implements the
signaling protocol (GTP-C), such as OpenGGSN [1]. This userspace daemon
updates the PDP context database that represents active subscriber
sessions through a genetlink interface.
For more context on this tunneling protocol, you can check the slides
that were presented during the NetDev 1.1 [2].
Only IPv4 is supported at this time.
