net: provide a per host RSS key generic infrastructure

RSS (Receive Side Scaling) typically uses Toeplitz hash and a 40 or 52 bytes
RSS key.

Some drivers use a constant (and well known key), some drivers use a random
key per port, making bonding setups hard to tune. Well known keys increase
attack surface, considering that number of queues is usually a power of two.

This patch provides infrastructure to help drivers doing the right thing.

netdev_rss_key_fill() should be used by drivers to initialize their RSS key,
even if they provide ethtool -X support to let user redefine the key later.

A new /proc/sys/net/core/netdev_rss_key file can be used to get the host
RSS key even for drivers not providing ethtool -x support, in case some
applications want to precisely setup flows to match some RX queues.

Tested:

myhost:~# cat /proc/sys/net/core/netdev_rss_key
11:63:99:bb:79:fb:a5:a7:07:45:b2:20:bf:02:42:2d:08:1a:dd:19:2b:6b:23:ac:56:28:9d:70:c3:ac:e8:16:4b:b7:c1:10:53:a4:78:41:36:40:74:b6:15:ca:27:44:aa:b3:4d:72

myhost:~# ethtool -x eth0
RX flow hash indirection table for eth0 with 8 RX ring(s):
    0:      0     1     2     3     4     5     6     7
