[PATCH v2 net-next 4/5] geneve: Add dualstack flag to struct geneve_config.

When collect metadata mode (IFLA_GENEVE_COLLECT_METADATA) is
enabled, the GENEVE device creates both IPv4 and IPv6 sockets
and bind()s them to wildcard addresses.

The next patch allows creating only one socket bound to a
specific address even when the collect metadata mode is
enabled.

Then, we need a flag to distinguish dualstack GENEVE devices
to detect local address conflict.

Let's add the dualstack flag to struct geneve_config.

IFLA_GENEVE_COLLECT_METADATA processing is moved up in
geneve_nl2info() for the next patch to overwrite dualstack
to false while keeping collect_md true.

Note that IFLA_GENEVE_REMOTE and IFLA_GENEVE_REMOTE6 does not
set cfg->dualstack to false since is_tnl_info_zero() ignores
the wildcard remote address:

  # ip link add geneve0 type geneve external remote 0.0.0.1
  Error: Device is externally controlled, so attributes (VNI, Port, and so on) must not be specified.

  # ip link add geneve0 type geneve external remote 0.0.0.0
  # ss -ua | grep geneve
  UNCONN 0      0            0.0.0.0:geneve      0.0.0.0:*
  UNCONN 0      0                  *:geneve            *:*
