[PATCH net-next 1/3] uapi: ioam6: API for netlink multicast events

[Justin Iurman]

Add new api to support ioam6 events for generic netlink multicast. A
first "trace" event is added to the list of ioam6 events, which will
represent an IOAM Trace. It provides another solution to share IOAM data
with user space (an alternative to IPv6 raw sockets combined with
ancillary data).
