David Ahern 87f5fc7e48 bpf: Provide helper to do forwarding lookups in kernel FIB table
Provide a helper for doing a FIB and neighbor lookup in the kernel
tables from an XDP program. The helper provides a fastpath for forwarding
packets. If the packet is a local delivery or for any reason is not a
simple lookup and forward, the packet continues up the stack.

If it is to be forwarded, the forwarding can be done directly if the
neighbor is already known. If the neighbor does not exist, the first
few packets go up the stack for neighbor resolution. Once resolved, the
xdp program provides the fast path.

On successful lookup the nexthop dmac, current device smac and egress
device index are returned.

The API supports IPv4, IPv6 and MPLS protocols, but only IPv4 and IPv6
are implemented in this patch. The API includes layer 4 parameters if
the XDP program chooses to do deep packet inspection to allow compare
against ACLs implemented as FIB rules.

Header rewrite is left to the XDP program.

The lookup takes 2 flags:
- BPF_FIB_LOOKUP_DIRECT to do a lookup that bypasses FIB rules and goes
  straight to the table associated with the device (expert setting for
  those looking to maximize throughput)

- BPF_FIB_LOOKUP_OUTPUT to do a lookup from the egress perspective.
  Default is an ingress lookup.

Initial performance numbers collected by Jesper, forwarded packets/sec:

       Full stack    XDP FIB lookup    XDP Direct lookup
IPv4   1,947,969       7,074,156          7,415,333
IPv6   1,728,000       6,165,504          7,262,720

These number are single CPU core forwarding on a Broadwell
E5-1650 v4 @ 3.60GHz.
