Oliver Hartkopp 96ea3a1e2d can: add CAN skb extension infrastructure
To remove the private CAN bus skb headroom infrastructure 8 bytes need to
be stored in the skb. The skb extensions are a common pattern and an easy
and efficient way to hold private data travelling along with the skb. We
only need the skb_ext_add() and skb_ext_find() functions to allocate and
access CAN specific content as the skb helpers to copy/clone/free skbs
automatically take care of skb extensions and their final removal.

This patch introduces the complete CAN skb extensions infrastructure:
- add struct can_skb_ext in new file include/net/can.h
- add include/net/can.h in MAINTAINERS
- add SKB_EXT_CAN to skbuff.c and skbuff.h
- select SKB_EXTENSIONS in Kconfig when CONFIG_CAN is enabled
- check for existing CAN skb extensions in can_rcv() in af_can.c
- add CAN skb extensions allocation at every skb_alloc() location
- duplicate the skb extensions if cloning outgoing skbs (framelen/gw_hops)
- introduce can_skb_ext_add() and can_skb_ext_find() helpers

The patch also corrects an indention issue in the original code from 2018:
