Subject: [PATCH net-next v6 1/7] net: introduce rstreason to detect why the RST is sent

From: Jason Xing <[email-masked]>

From: Jason Xing <[email-masked]>

Add a new standalone file for the easy future extension to support
both active reset and passive reset in the TCP/DCCP/MPTCP protocols.

This patch only does the preparations for reset reason mechanism,
nothing else changes.

The reset reasons are divided into three parts:
1) reuse drop reasons for passive reset in TCP
2) reuse MP_TCPRST option for MPTCP
3) our own reasons

I will implement the basic codes of active/passive reset reason in
those three protocols, which is not complete for this moment. But
it provides a new chance to let other people add more reasons into
it:)
