This patch adds changelink rtnl operation support for geneve devices
and the code changes involve:
- added geneve_quiesce() which quiesces the geneve device data path
for both TX and RX. This lets us perform the changelink operation
atomically w.r.t data path. Also added geneve_unquiesce() to
reverse the operation of geneve_quiesce().
- refactor geneve_newlink into geneve_nl2info to be used by both
geneve_newlink and geneve_changelink
- geneve_nl2info takes a changelink boolean argument to isolate
changelink checks.
- Allow changing only a few attributes (ttl, tos, and remote tunnel
endpoint IP address (within the same address family)):
- return -EOPNOTSUPP for attributes that cannot be changed for
now. Incremental patches can make the non-supported one
available in the future if needed.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
