This patch addresses concerns about efficiency of handling incoming
packets. Handling of interrupts is done in a threaded interrupt handler
which has a smaller latency than workqueues. This change needed a rework
of the locking scheme that was much simplified. Some other (more or less
longstanding) bugs are fixed: utilization of just half of the RX
buffers, useless wait for interrupt on open, more reliable reset
sequence. The MERR interrupt is not used anymore: it overloads the CPU
in error-passive state without any additional information. One shot mode
is disabled because it's not clear if it can be handled efficiently on
this CAN controller.

This patch adds error checking of ctrlmode values for CAN devices. As
an example all availabe bits are implemented in the mcp251x driver.

To prevent the CAN drivers to operate on invalid socketbuffers the skbs are
now checked and silently dropped at the xmit-function consistently.
Also the netdev stats are consistently using the CAN data length code (dlc)
for [rx|tx]_bytes now.

Test the just-allocated value for NULL rather than some other value.
The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:

A valid CAN dataframe can have a data length code (DLC) of 0 .. 8 data bytes.
When reading the CAN controllers register the 4-bit value may contain values
from 0 .. 15 which may exceed the reserved space in the socket buffer!
The ISO 11898-1 Chapter 8.4.2.3 (DLC field) says that register values > 8
should be reduced to 8 without any error reporting or frame drop.
This patch introduces a new helper macro to cast a given 4-bit data length
code (dlc) to __u8 and ensure the DLC value to be max. 8 bytes.
The different handlings in the rx path of the CAN netdevice drivers are fixed.
