Subject: [PATCH net-next 1/2] net: add IP_DSCP_MASK

In RFC1349 it defined TOS field like

       0     1     2     3     4     5     6     7
    +-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+
    |   PRECEDENCE    |          TOS          | MBZ |
    +-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+

But this has been obsoleted by RFC2474, and updated by RFC3168 later.
Now the DS Field should be like

       0     1     2     3     4     5     6     7
    +-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+
    |          DS FIELD, DSCP           | ECN FIELD |
    +-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+

      DSCP: differentiated services codepoint
      ECN:  Explicit Congestion Notification

So the old IPTOS_TOS_MASK 0x1E should be updated. But since
changed the value will break UAPI, let's add a new value
IP_DSCP_MASK 0xFC as a replacement.
