6lowpan: rework tc and flow label handling
This patch reworks the handling of compression/decompression of traffic
class and flow label handling. The current method is hard to understand,
also doesn't checks if we can read the buffer from skb length.
I tried to put the shifting operations into static inline functions and
comment each steps which I did there to make it hopefully somewhat more
readable. The big mess to deal with that is the that the ipv6 header
bring the order "DSCP + ECN" but iphc uses "ECN + DSCP". Additional the
DCSP + ECN bits are splitted in ipv6_hdr inside the priority and
flow_lbl[0] fields.
I tested these compressions by using fakelb 802.15.4 driver and
manipulate the tc and flow label fields manually in function
"__ip6_local_out" before the skb will be send to lower layers. Then I
looked up the tc and flow label fields in wireshark on a wpan and lowpan
interface.
