compat: Fix broken partial backport of extack op parameter
A series of commits added support for the extended ack parameter to the newlink, changelink and validate ops in the rtnl_link_ops structure: a8b8a889e369d ("net: add netlink_ext_ack argument to rtnl_link_ops.validate") 7a3f4a185169b ("net: add netlink_ext_ack argument to rtnl_link_ops.newlink") ad744b223c521 ("net: add netlink_ext_ack argument to rtnl_link_ops.changelink") These commits were all added at the same time and present since the Linux kernel 4.13 release. In our compatiblity layer we have a define HAVE_EXT_ACK_IN_RTNL_LINKOPS that indicates the presence of the extended ack parameter for these three link operations. At least one distro has only backported two of the three patches, for newlink and changelink, while not backporting patch a8b8a889e369d for the validate op. Our compatibility layer code in acinclude.m4 is able to find the presence of the extack within the rtnl_link_ops structure so it defines HAVE_EXT_ACK_IN_RTNL_LINKOPS but since the validate link op does not have the extack parameter the compilation fails on recent kernels for that particular distro. Other kernel distributions based upon this distro will presumably also encounter the compile errors. Introduce a new function in acinclude.m4 that will find function op definitions and then search for the required parameter. Then use this function to define HAVE_RTNLOP_VALIDATE_WITH_EXTACK so that we can detect and enable correct compilation on kernels which have not backported the entire set of patches. This function is generic to any function op - it need not be in a structure. In places where HAVE_EXT_ACK_IN_RTNL_LINKOPS wraps validate functions replace it with the new HAVE_RTNLOP_VALIDATE_WITH_EXTACK define. Passes Travis here: https://travis-ci.org/github/gvrose8192/ovs-experimental/builds/674599698 Passes a kernel check-kmod test on several systems, including sles12 sp4 4.12.14-95.48-default kernel, without any regressions.
