strparser: Stream parser for messages

This patch introduces a utility for parsing application layer protocol
messages in a TCP stream. This is a generalization of the mechanism
implemented of Kernel Connection Multiplexor.

The API includes a context structure, a set of callbacks, utility
functions, and a data ready function.

A stream parser instance is defined by a strparse structure that
is bound to a TCP socket. The function to initialize the structure
is:

int strp_init(struct strparser *strp, struct sock *csk,
              struct strp_callbacks *cb);

csk is the TCP socket being bound to and cb are the parser callbacks.

The upper layer calls strp_tcp_data_ready when data is ready on the lower
socket for strparser to process. This should be called from a data_ready
callback that is set on the socket:

void strp_tcp_data_ready(struct strparser *strp);

A parser is bound to a TCP socket by setting data_ready function to
strp_tcp_data_ready so that all receive indications on the socket
go through the parser. This is assumes that sk_user_data is set to
the strparser structure.

There are four callbacks.
 - parse_msg is called to parse the message (returns length or error).
 - rcv_msg is called when a complete message has been received
 - read_sock_done is called when data_ready function exits
 - abort_parser is called to abort the parser

The input to parse_msg is an skbuff which contains next message under
construction. The backend processing of parse_msg will parse the
application layer protocol headers to determine the length of
the message in the stream. The possible return values are:

   >0 : indicates length of successfully parsed message
   0  : indicates more data must be received to parse the message
   -ESTRPIPE : current message should not be processed by the
      kernel, return control of the socket to userspace which
      can proceed to read the messages itself
   other < 0 : Error is parsing, give control back to userspace
      assuming that synchronzation is lost and the stream
      is unrecoverable (application expected to close TCP socket)

In the case of error return (< 0) strparse will stop the parser
and report and error to userspace. The application must deal
with the error. To handle the error the strparser is unbound
from the TCP socket. If the error indicates that the stream
TCP socket is at recoverable point (ESTRPIPE) then the application
can read the TCP socket to process the stream. Once the application
has dealt with the exceptions in the stream, it may again bind the
socket to a strparser to continue data operations.

Note that ENODATA may be returned to the application. In this case
parse_msg returned -ESTRPIPE, however strparser was unable to maintain
synchronization of the stream (i.e. some of the message in question
was already read by the parser).

strp_pause and strp_unpause are used to provide flow control. For
instance, if rcv_msg is called but the upper layer can't immediately
consume the message it can hold the message and pause strparser.
