net-next:v4: Add support to configure SR-IOV VF minimum and maximum Tx rate through ip tool.

o min_tx_rate puts lower limit on the VF bandwidth. VF is guaranteed
  to have a bandwidth of at least this value.
  max_tx_rate puts cap on the VF bandwidth. VF can have a bandwidth
  of up to this value.

o A new handler set_vf_rate for attr IFLA_VF_RATE has been introduced
  which takes 4 arguments:
  netdev, VF number, min_tx_rate, max_tx_rate

o ndo_set_vf_rate replaces ndo_set_vf_tx_rate handler.

o Drivers that currently implement ndo_set_vf_tx_rate should now call
  ndo_set_vf_rate instead and reject attempt to set a minimum bandwidth
  greater than 0 for IFLA_VF_TX_RATE when IFLA_VF_RATE is not yet
  implemented by driver.

o If user enters only one of either min_tx_rate or max_tx_rate, then,
  userland should read back the other value from driver and set both
  for IFLA_VF_RATE.
  Drivers that have not yet implemented IFLA_VF_RATE should always
  return min_tx_rate as 0 when read from ip tool.

o If both IFLA_VF_TX_RATE and IFLA_VF_RATE options are specified, then
  IFLA_VF_RATE should override.

o Idea is to have consistent display of rate values to user.

o Usage example: -

  ./ip link set p4p1 vf 0 rate 900

  ./ip link show p4p1
  32: p4p1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode
