net: nexthop: Expose nexthop group HW stats to user space
Add netlink support for reading NH group hardware stats. Stats collection is done through a new notifier, NEXTHOP_EVENT_HW_STATS_REPORT_DELTA. Drivers that implement HW counters for a given NH group are thereby asked to collect the stats and report back to core by calling nh_grp_hw_stats_report_delta(). This is similar to what netdevice L3 stats do. Besides exposing number of packets that passed in the HW datapath, also include information on whether any driver actually realizes the counters. The core can tell based on whether it got any _report_delta() reports from the drivers. This allows enabling the statistics at the group at any time, with drivers opting into supporting them. This is also in line with what netdevice L3 stats are doing. So as not to waste time and space, tie the collection and reporting of HW stats with a new op flag, NHA_OP_FLAG_DUMP_HW_STATS.
