net: extend drop reasons for multiple subsystems Extend drop reasons to make them usable by subsystems other than core by reserving the high 16 bits for a new subsystem ID, of which 0 of course is used for the existing reasons immediately. To still be able to have string reasons, restructure that code a bit to make the loopup under RCU, the only user of this (right now) is drop_monitor.

mac80211: use the new drop reasons infrastructure It can be really hard to analyse or debug why packets are going missing in mac80211, so add the needed infrastructure to use use the new per-subsystem drop reasons. We actually use two drop reason subsystems here because of the different handling of frames that are dropped but still go to monitor for old versions of hostapd, and those that are just completely unusable (e.g. crypto failed.) Annotate a few reasons here just to illustrate this, we'll need to go through and annotate more of them later.

net: openvswitch: add last-action drop reason Create a new drop reason subsystem for openvswitch and add the first drop reason to represent last-action drops. Last-action drops happen when a flow has an empty action list or there is no action that consumes the packet (output, userspace, recirc, etc). It is the most common way in which OVS drops packets. Implementation-wise, most of these skb-consuming actions already call "consume_skb" internally and return directly from within the do_execute_actions() loop so with minimal changes we can assume that any skb that exits the loop normally is a packet drop.
