W=1 builds now warn if module is built without a MODULE_DESCRIPTION().
Add descriptions to the IP-VLAN based tap driver.

There is no need to manually set the owner of a struct class, as the
registering function does it automatically, so remove all of the
explicit settings from various drivers that did so as it is unneeded.
This allows us to remove this pointer entirely from this structure going
forward.

The callbacks in struct class namespace() and get_ownership() do not
modify the struct device passed to them, so mark the pointer as constant
and fix up all callbacks in the kernel to have the correct function
signature.
This helps make it more obvious what calls and callbacks do, and do not,
modify structures passed to them.

Looks to have been left out in an oversight.

The last argument of device_create() call should be a template string.
The tap_name variable should be the argument to the string, but not the
argument of the call itself. We should add the template string and turn
tap_name into its argument.

The commit 9a393b5d5988 ("tap: tap as an independent module") created a
separate tap module that implements tap functionality and exports
interfaces that will be used by macvtap and ipvtap modules to create
create respective tap devices.
However, that patch introduced a regression wherein the modules macvtap
and ipvtap can be removed (through modprobe -r) while there are
applications using the respective /dev/tapX devices. These applications
cause kernel to hold reference to /dev/tapX through 'struct cdev
macvtap_cdev' and 'struct cdev ipvtap_dev' defined in macvtap and ipvtap
modules respectively. So, when the application is later closed the
kernel panics because we are referencing KVA that is present in the
unloaded modules.
----------8<------- Example ----------8<----------
$ sudo ip li add name mv0 link enp7s0 type macvtap
$ sudo ip li show mv0 |grep mv0| awk -e '{print $1 $2}'
14:mv0@enp7s0:
$ cat /dev/tap14 &
$ lsmod |egrep -i 'tap|vlan'
macvtap 16384 0
macvlan 24576 1 macvtap
tap 24576 3 macvtap
$ sudo modprobe -r macvtap
$ fg
cat /dev/tap14
^C
<...system panics...>
BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffffffa038c500
IP: cdev_put+0xf/0x30
----------8<-----------------8<----------
The fix is to set cdev.owner to the module that creates the tap device
(either macvtap or ipvtap). With this set, the operations (in
fs/char_dev.c) on char device holds and releases the module through
cdev_get() and cdev_put() and will not allow the module to unload
prematurely.

This patch adds a tap character device driver that is based on the
IP-VLAN network interface, called ipvtap. An ipvtap device can be created
in the same way as an ipvlan device, using 'type ipvtap', and then accessed
using the tap user space interface.
