[PATCH net-next v9 1/7] net: introduce rstreason to detect why the RST is sent

[Jason Xing <kerneljasonxing@gmail.com>]

From: Jason Xing <kernelxing@tencent.com>

Add a new standalone file for the easy future extension to support
both active reset and passive reset in the TCP/DCCP/MPTCP protocols.

This patch only does the preparations for reset reason mechanism,
nothing else changes.

The reset reasons are divided into three parts:
1) reuse drop reasons for passive reset in TCP
2) our own independent reasons which aren't relying on other reasons at all
3) reuse MP_TCPRST option for MPTCP

The benefits of a standalone reset reason are listed here:
1) it can cover more than one case, such as reset reasons in MPTCP,
active reset reasons.
2) people can easily/fastly understand and maintain this mechanism.
3) we get unified format of output with prefix stripped.
4) more new reset reasons are on the way
...

I will implement the basic codes of active/passive reset reason in
those three protocols, which are not complete for this moment. For
passive reset part in TCP, I only introduce the NO_SOCKET common case
which could be set as an example.

After this series applied, it will have the ability to open a new
gate to let other people contribute more reasons into it :)
