net: icmp: add skb drop reasons to icmp protocol



Replace kfree_skb() used in icmp_rcv() and icmpv6_rcv() with
kfree_skb_reason().

In order to get the reasons of the skb drops after icmp message handle,
we change the return type of 'handler()' in 'struct icmp_control' from
'bool' to 'enum skb_drop_reason'. This may change its original
intention, as 'false' means failure, but 'SKB_NOT_DROPPED_YET' means
success now. Therefore, all 'handler' and the call of them need to be
handled. Following 'handler' functions are involved:

icmp_unreach()
icmp_redirect()
icmp_echo()
icmp_timestamp()
icmp_discard()

And following new drop reasons are added:

SKB_DROP_REASON_ICMP_CSUM
SKB_DROP_REASON_INVALID_PROTO

The reason 'INVALID_PROTO' is introduced for the case that the packet
doesn't follow rfc 1122 and is dropped. This is not a common case, and
I believe we can locate the problem from the data in the packet. For now,
this 'INVALID_PROTO' is used for the icmp broadcasts with wrong types.

Maybe there should be a document file for these reasons. For example,
list all the case that causes the 'UNHANDLED_PROTO' and 'INVALID_PROTO'
drop reason. Therefore, users can locate their problems according to the
document.
