tipc: implement socket diagnostics for AF_TIPC
This commit adds socket diagnostics capability for AF_TIPC in netlink
family NETLINK_SOCK_DIAG in a new kernel module (diag.ko).
The following are key design considerations:
- config TIPC_DIAG has default y, like INET_DIAG.
- only requests with flag NLM_F_DUMP is supported (dump all).
- tipc_sock_diag_req message is introduced to send filter parameters.
- the response attributes are of TLV, some nested.
To avoid exposing data structures between diag and tipc modules and
avoid code duplication, the following additions are required:
- export tipc_nl_sk_walk function to reuse socket iterator.
- export tipc_sk_fill_sock_diag to fill the tipc diag attributes.
- create a sock_diag response message in __tipc_add_sock_diag defined
in diag.c and use the above exported tipc_sk_fill_sock_diag
to fill response.
