====================
net: Support STP on bridge in non-root netns.

Currently, STP does not work in non-root netns as llc_rcv() drops
packets from non-root netns.

This series fixes it by making some protocol handlers netns-aware,
which are called from llc_rcv() as follows:

  llc_rcv()
  |
  |- sap->rcv_func : registered by llc_sap_open()
  |
  |  * functions : regsitered by register_8022_client()
  |    -> No in-kernel user call register_8022_client()
  |
  |  * snap_rcv()
  |    |
  |    `- proto->rcvfunc() : registered by register_snap_client()
  |
  |       * aarp_rcv()  : drop packets from non-root netns
  |       * atalk_rcv() : drop packets from non-root netns
  |
  |  * stp_pdu_rcv()
  |    |
  |    `- garp_protos[]->rcv() : registered by stp_proto_register()
  |
  |       * garp_pdu_rcv() : netns-aware
  |       * br_stp_rcv()   : netns-aware
  |
  |- llc_type_handlers[llc_pdu_type(skb) - 1]
  |
  |  * llc_sap_handler()  : NOT netns-aware (Patch 1)
  |  * llc_conn_handler() : NOT netns-aware (Patch 2)
  |
  `- llc_station_handler

     * llc_station_rcv() : netns-aware

Patch 1 & 2 convert not-netns-aware functions and Patch 3 remove the
netns restriction in llc_rcv().

Note this series does not namespacify AF_LLC so that these patches
can be backported to stable without conflicts (at least to 4.14.y).

Another series that adds netns support for AF_LLC will be targeted
to net-next later.
