net: Introduce generic failover module The failover module provides a generic interface for paravirtual drivers to register a netdev and a set of ops with a failover instance. The ops are used as event handlers that get called to handle netdev register/ unregister/link change/name change events on slave pci ethernet devices with the same mac address as the failover netdev. This enables paravirtual drivers to use a VF as an accelerated low latency datapath. It also allows migration of VMs with direct attached VFs by failing over to the paravirtual datapath when the VF is unplugged.

net: failover: use IFF_NO_ADDRCONF flag to prevent ipv6 addrconf Similar to Bonding and Team, to prevent ipv6 addrconf with IFF_NO_ADDRCONF in slave_dev->priv_flags for slave ports is also needed in net failover. Note that dev_open(slave_dev) is called in .slave_register, which is called after the IFF_NO_ADDRCONF flag is set in failover_slave_register().

net: rename reference+tracking helpers Netdev reference helpers have a dev_ prefix for historic reasons. Renaming the old helpers would be too much churn but we can rename the tracking ones which are relatively recent and should be the default for new code.
