This change adds a couple of new ioctls for mctp sockets:
SIOCMCTPALLOCTAG and SIOCMCTPDROPTAG. These ioctls provide facilities
for explicit allocation / release of tags, overriding the automatic
allocate-on-send/release-on-reply and timeout behaviours. This allows
userspace more control over messages that may not fit a simple
request/response model.
In order to indicate a pre-allocated tag to the sendmsg() syscall, we
introduce a new flag to the struct sockaddr_mctp.smctp_tag value:
MCTP_TAG_PREALLOC.

The tag allocation, release and bind events are somewhat opaque outside
the kernel; this change adds a few tracepoints to assist in
instrumentation and debugging.
