Following patches adds support for Geneve tunnel metadata
mode. OVS can make use of Geneve net-device with tunnel
metadata API from kernel.

This also allows us to consolidate Geneve implementation
from two kernel modules geneve_core and geneve to single
geneve module. geneve_core module was targeted to share
Geneve encap and decap code between Geneve netdevice and
OVS Geneve tunnel implementation, Since OVS no longer
needs these API, Geneve code can be consolidated into
single geneve module.

v3-v4:
- Drop NETIF_F_NETNS_LOCAL feature.
- Fix geneve device newlink check

v2-v3:
- make tunnel medata device and regular device mutually exclusive.
- Fix Kconfig dependency for Geneve.
- Fix dst-port netlink encoding.
- drop changelink patch.

v1-v2:
- Replaced per hash table tunnel pointer (metadata enabled) with flag.
- Added support for changelink.
- Improve geneve device route lookup with more parameters.
Series applied, but I kind of expect some sort of fallout from this
from the 0-day robot or similar :-)

We'll see.
