devlink: introduce framework for selftests
Add a framework for running selftests.
Framework exposes devlink commands and test suite(s) to the user
to execute and query the supported tests by the driver.
Below are new entries in devlink_nl_ops
devlink_nl_cmd_selftests_show_doit/dumpit: To query the supported
selftests by the drivers.
devlink_nl_cmd_selftests_run: To execute selftests. Users can
provide a test mask for executing group tests or standalone tests.
Documentation/networking/devlink/ path is already part of MAINTAINERS &
the new files come under this path. Hence no update needed to the
MAINTAINERS
