Add an epoll busy poll test using netdevsim.
This test is comprised of:
- busy_poller (via busy_poller.c)
- busy_poll_test.sh which loads netdevsim, sets up network namespaces,
and runs busy_poller to receive data and socat to send data.
The selftest tests two different scenarios:
- busy poll (the pre-existing version in the kernel)
- busy poll with suspend enabled (what this series adds)
The data transmit is a 1MiB temporary file generated from /dev/urandom
and the test is considered passing if the md5sum of the input file to
socat matches the md5sum of the output file from busy_poller.
netdevsim was chosen instead of veth due to netdevsim's support for
netdev-genl.
For now, this test uses the functionality that netdevsim provides. In the
future, perhaps netdevsim can be extended to emulate device IRQs to more
thoroughly test all pre-existing kernel options (like defer_hard_irqs)
and suspend.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
