can: add private data space for CAN sk_buffs
The struct can_skb_priv is used to transport additional information along
with the stored struct can(fd)_frame that can not be contained in existing
struct sk_buff elements.
can_skb_priv is located in the skb headroom, which does not touch the existing
CAN sk_buff usage with skb->data and skb->len, so that even out-of-tree
CAN drivers can be used without changes.
Btw. out-of-tree CAN drivers without can_skb_priv in the sk_buff headroom
would not support features based on can_skb_priv.
The can_skb_priv->ifindex contains the first interface where the CAN frame
appeared on the local host. Unfortunately skb->skb_iif can not be used as this
value is overwritten in every netif_receive_skb() call.
