tun: Add ability to create tun device with given index
Tun devices cannot be created with ifidex user wants, but it's required by checkpoint-restore project. Long time ago such ability was implemented for rtnl_ops-based interface for creating links (9c7dafbf net: Allow to create links with given ifindex), but the only API for creating and managing tuntap devices is ioctl-based and is evolving with adding new ones (cde8b15f tuntap: add ioctl to attach or detach a file form tuntap device). Following that trend, here's how a new ioctl that sets the ifindex for device, that _will_ be created by TUNSETIFF ioctl looks like. So those who want a tuntap device with the ifindex N, should open the tun device, call ioctl(fd, TUNSETIFINDEX, &N), then call TUNSETIFF. If the index N is busy, then the register_netdev will find this out and the ioctl would be failed with -EBUSY. If setifindex is not called, then it will be generated as before.
