A node that has the MRA role, it can behave as MRM or MRC.
Initially it starts as MRM and sends MRP_Test frames on both ring ports.
If it detects that there are MRP_Test send by another MRM, then it
checks if these frames have a lower priority than itself. In this case
it would send MRP_Nack frames to notify the other node that it needs to
stop sending MRP_Test frames.
If it receives a MRP_Nack frame then it stops sending MRP_Test frames
and starts to behave as a MRC but it would continue to monitor the
MRP_Test frames send by MRM. If at a point the MRM stops to send
MRP_Test frames it would get the MRM role and start to send MRP_Test
frames.

Replace u16/u32 with be16/be32 in the MRP frame types.
This fixes sparse warnings like:
warning: cast to restricted __be16

Add new nested netlink attribute to configure the MRP. These attributes are used
by the userspace to add/delete/configure MRP instances and by the kernel to
notify the userspace when the MRP ring gets open/closed. MRP nested attribute
has the following attributes:
IFLA_BRIDGE_MRP_INSTANCE - the parameter type is br_mrp_instance which contains
the instance id, and the ifindex of the two ports. The ports can't be part of
multiple instances. This is used to create/delete MRP instances.
IFLA_BRIDGE_MRP_PORT_STATE - the parameter type is u32. Which can be forwarding,
blocking or disabled.
IFLA_BRIDGE_MRP_PORT_ROLE - the parameter type is br_mrp_port_role which
contains the instance id and the role. The role can be primary or secondary.
IFLA_BRIDGE_MRP_RING_STATE - the parameter type is br_mrp_ring_state which
contains the instance id and the state. The state can be open or closed.
IFLA_BRIDGE_MRP_RING_ROLE - the parameter type is br_mrp_ring_role which
contains the instance id and the ring role. The role can be MRM or MRC.
IFLA_BRIDGE_MRP_START_TEST - the parameter type is br_mrp_start_test which
contains the instance id, the interval at which to send the MRP_Test frames,
how many test frames can be missed before declaring the ring open and the
period which represent for how long to send the test frames.
Also add the file include/uapi/linux/mrp_bridge.h which defines all the types
used by MRP that are also needed by the userpace.
