[PATCH 3/4] can: dev: set IFF_ECHO when allocating echo skbs

[Vincent Mailhol <mailhol@kernel.org>]

Drivers which request echo skb slots from alloc_candev() are expected to
use the generic CAN echo skb helpers and handle local echo themselves.
Such drivers also need to set IFF_ECHO to prevent PF_CAN from performing
fallback echo.

Set IFF_ECHO from alloc_candev_mqs() whenever echo_skb_max is non-zero.
This ties the flag to the generic echo skb allocation and avoids
requiring every driver to set it manually.

This also covers ucan as a side effect. That driver already requests
echo skb slots and uses can_put_echo_skb(), can_get_echo_skb(), and
can_free_echo_skb(), but forgot to set IFF_ECHO.

After this change, drivers which use the generic echo skb helpers have
one less thing to remember during netdevice setup. Update the CAN
documentation accordingly.
