Subject: [RFC v3] Add TCP encap_rcv hook

This hook is based on a hook of the same name provided by UDP.  It provides
a way for to receive packets that have a TCP header and treat them in some
alternate way.

It is intended to be used by an implementation of the STT tunneling
protocol within Open vSwtich's datapath. A prototype of such an
implementation has been made.

The STT draft is available at
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-davie-stt-01

My prototype STT implementation has been posted to the dev@...nvswtich.org.
The first version can be found at:
http://www.mail-archive.com/dev@openvswitch.org/msg08877.html

v3
* First post to netdev
* Replace more UDP references with TCP
* Move socket accesses to inside socket lock
  and release lock on return.

v2
* Fix comment to refer to TCP rather than UDP
* Allow skb to continue traversing the stack if
  the encap_rcv callback returns a positive value.
  This is the same behaviour as the UDP hook.
