Subject: [PATCH 1/3] net: add a new NETDEV_CHANGEROOM event type

The event NETDEV_CHANGEROOM event can be used by devices/subsystems
which need to adjust their needed_headroom and/or needed_tailroom
requirements dynamically. Two helper functions are introduced:

- dev_set_headroom(dev, new_headroom)
- dev_set_taioroom(dev, new_tailroom)

which will notify listeners of such a change.
