20dd3850bc can: Speed up CAN frame receiption by using ml_priv
this patch removes the hlist that contains the CAN receiver filter lists.
It uses the 'midlayer private' pointer ml_priv and links the filters directly
to the CAN netdevice, which allows to omit the walk through the complete CAN
devices hlist for each received CAN frame.

This patch is tested and does not remove any locking.

99b7623380 proc 2/2: remove struct proc_dir_entry::owner
Setting ->owner as done currently (pde->owner = THIS_MODULE) is racy
as correctly noted at bug #12454. Someone can lookup entry with NULL
->owner, thus not pinning enything, and release it later resulting
in module refcount underflow.

We can keep ->owner and supply it at registration time like ->proc_fops
and ->data.

But this leaves ->owner as easy-manipulative field (just one C assignment)
and somebody will forget to unpin previous/pin current module when
switching ->owner. ->proc_fops is declared as "const" which should give
some thoughts.

->read_proc/->write_proc were just fixed to not require ->owner for
protection.

rmmod'ed directories will be empty and return "." and ".." -- no harm.
And directories with tricky enough readdir and lookup shouldn't be modular.
We definitely don't want such modular code.

Removing ->owner will also make PDE smaller.

So, let's nuke it.

Kudos to Jeff Layton for reminding about this, let's say, oversight.

0d66548a10 [CAN]: Add PF_CAN core module
This patch adds the CAN core functionality but no protocols or drivers.
No protocol implementations are included here.  They come as separate
patches.  Protocol numbers are already in include/linux/can.h.
