net: Add lag.h, net_lag_port_dev_txable() LAG devices (team or bond) recognize for each one of their slave devices whether LAG traffic is going to be sent through that device. Bond calls such devices "active", team calls them "txable". When this state changes, a NETDEV_CHANGELOWERSTATE notification is distributed, together with a netdev_notifier_changelowerstate_info structure that for LAG devices includes a tx_enabled flag that refers to the new state. The notification thus makes it possible to react to the changes in txability in drivers. However there's no way to query txability from the outside on demand. That is problematic namely for mlxsw, which when resolving ERSPAN packet path, may encounter a LAG device, and needs to determine which of the slaves it should choose. To that end, introduce a new function, net_lag_port_dev_txable(), which determines whether a given slave device is "active" or "txable" (depending on the flavor of the LAG device). That function then dispatches to per-LAG-flavor helpers, bond_is_active_slave_dev() resp. team_port_dev_txable(). Because there currently is no good place where net_lag_port_dev_txable() should be added, introduce a new header file, lag.h, which should from now on hold any logic common to both team and bond. (But keep netif_is_lag_master() together with the rest of netif_is_*_master() functions).
