ip_tunnel: use a separate struct to store tunnel params in the kernel
Unlike IPv6 tunnels which use purely-kernel __ip6_tnl_parm structure
to store params inside the kernel, IPv4 tunnel code uses the same
ip_tunnel_parm which is being used to talk with the userspace.
This makes it difficult to alter or add any fields or use a
different format for whatever data.
Define struct ip_tunnel_parm_kern, a 1:1 copy of ip_tunnel_parm for
now, and use it throughout the code. Define the pieces, where the copy
user <-> kernel happens, as standalone functions, and copy the data
there field-by-field, so that the kernel-side structure could be easily
modified later on and the users wouldn't have to care about this.
