"L3 stats" is a suite of interface statistics aimed at reflecting traffic
taking place in a HW device, on an object corresponding to some software
netdevice. Support for this stats suite has been added recently, in commit
ca0a53dcec94 ("Merge branch 'net-hw-counters-for-soft-devices'").

In this patch set:

- Patch #1 adds support for L3 stats to netdevsim.

  Real devices can have various conditions for when an L3 counter is
  available. To simulate this, netdevsim maintains a list of devices
  suitable for HW stats collection. Only when l3_stats is enabled on both a
  netdevice itself, and in netdevsim, will netdevsim contribute values to
  L3 stats.

  This enablement and disablement is done via debugfs:

    # echo $ifindex > /sys/kernel/debug/netdevsim/$DEV/hwstats/l3/enable_ifindex
    # echo $ifindex > /sys/kernel/debug/netdevsim/$DEV/hwstats/l3/disable_ifindex

  Besides this, there is a third toggle to mark a device for future failure:

    # echo $ifindex > /sys/kernel/debug/netdevsim/$DEV/hwstats/l3/fail_next_enable

- This allows HW-independent testing of stats reporting and in-kernel APIs,
  as well as a test for enablement rollback, which is difficult to do
  otherwise. This netdevsim-specific selftest is added in patch #2.

- Patch #3 adds another driver-specific selftest, namely a test aimed at
  checking mlxsw-induced stats monitoring events.

v2:
- Patch #1:
    - Embed fops into a structure that carries the necessary metadata
      together with the fops. Extract the data in the generic write
      handler to determine what debugfs file the op pertains to. This
      obviates the need to have a per-debugfs file helper wrapper.
