The main purpose of this cmd is to be able to associate a
non-psp-capable device (e.g. veth or netkit) with a psp device.
One use case is if we create a pair of veth/netkit, and assign 1 end
inside a netns, while leaving the other end within the default netns,
with a real PSP device, e.g. netdevsim or a physical PSP-capable NIC.
With this command, we could associate the veth/netkit inside the netns
with PSP device, so the virtual device could act as PSP-capable device
to initiate PSP connections, and performs PSP encryption/decryption on
the real PSP device.

Add a netlink family for PSP and allow drivers to register support.
The "PSP device" is its own object. This allows us to perform more
flexible reference counting / lifetime control than if PSP information
was part of net_device. In the future we should also be able
to "delegate" PSP access to software devices, such as *vlan, veth
or netkit more easily.
