[PATCH can-next v2 0/3] Introduce diag support for CAN

In the current state of the art, it is not possible for userspace to use
tool like ss(8) to query open AF_CAN sockets.

This patch series adds the netlink can_diag interface for AF_CAN. Userspace
is  now able to send a netlink request to request information about open
AF_CAN sockets that are retrieved by the can-diag.ko module.

Patch 1 is a fix that is mandatory to the correct behaviour of the diag
module: the field sk_protocol is not assigned during `can_create()` instead
of being assigned only in case the CAN socket belong to the j1939 transport
protocol. This is needed to the correct filtering of the can diag module.

Patch 2 introduces a list per network namespace containing open CAN sockets.
The list is protected by a mutex.
CAN sockets are added in `can_create()` to the list and removed from it
in the `release()` calls defined for each transport protocol.

Patch 3 is the core patch that introduces the userspace structures to query
and receive netlink messages for CAN sockets and the actual CAN diag module.
The latter will use the userspace structures defined in <linux/can/diag.h>
to filter and retrieve open CAN sockets.

In the current implementation, every CAN sockets in the list is
returned to the userspace, however a filtering could be implemented:
Userspace could possibly request only bound CAN sockets or CAN sockets
belonging to a specific transport protocol (raw, iso-tp, j1939, bcm)
and so on.

An example of the output given by ss -cpe:
