Subject: [PATCH v3 1/2] can: netlink: prevent incoherent can configuration in case of early return

struct can_priv has a set of flags (can_priv::ctrlmode) which are
correlated with the other fields of the structure. In
can_changelink(), those flags are set first and copied to can_priv. If
the function has to return early, for example due to an out of range
value provided by the user, then the global configuration might become
incoherent.

Example: the user provides an out of range dbitrate (e.g. 20
Mbps). The command fails (-EINVAL), however the FD flag was already
set resulting in a configuration where FD is on but the databittiming
parameters are empty.

* Illustration of above example *

| $ ip link set can0 type can bitrate 500000 dbitrate 20000000 fd on
| RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument
| $ ip --details link show can0
| 1: can0: <NOARP,ECHO> mtu 72 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 10
|     link/can  promiscuity 0 minmtu 0 maxmtu 0
|     can <FD> state STOPPED restart-ms 0
           ^^ FD flag is set without any of the databittiming parameters...
| 	  bitrate 500000 sample-point 0.875
| 	  tq 12 prop-seg 69 phase-seg1 70 phase-seg2 20 sjw 1
| 	  ES582.1/ES584.1: tseg1 2..256 tseg2 2..128 sjw 1..128 brp 1..512 brp-inc 1
| 	  ES582.1/ES584.1: dtseg1 2..32 dtseg2 1..16 dsjw 1..8 dbrp 1..32 dbrp-inc 1
| 	  clock 80000000 numtxqueues 1 numrxqueues 1 gso_max_size 65536 gso_max_segs 65535

To prevent this from happening, we do a local copy of can_priv, work
on it, an copy it at the very end of the function (i.e. only if all
previous checks succeeded).

Once this done, there is no more need to have a temporary variable for
a specific parameter. As such, the bittiming and data bittiming (bt
and dbt) are directly written to the temporary priv variable.


N.B. The temporary can_priv is too big to be allocated on the stack
because, on x86_64 sizeof(struct can_priv) is 448 and:

| $ objdump -d drivers/net/can/dev/netlink.o | ./scripts/checkstack.pl
| 0x00000000000002100 can_changelink []:            1200
