====================
lwtunnel: autoload of lwt modules

Changes since v1:
 - remove "LWTUNNEL_ENCAP_" prefix for the string form of the encaps
   used when requesting the module to reduce duplication, and don't
   bother returning strings for lwt modules using netdevices, both
   suggested by Jiri.
 - update commit message of first patch to clarify security
   implications, in response to Eric's comments.

The lwt implementations using net devices can autoload using the
existing mechanism using IFLA_INFO_KIND. However, there's no mechanism
that lwt modules not using net devices can use.

Therefore, these patches add the ability to autoload modules
registering lwt operations for lwt implementations not using a net
device so that users don't have to manually load the modules.
