This patch adds configuration and dumping of congestion control metric
for ip route, f.e.:  ip route add <dst> dev <dev> congctl [lock] <name>

Stephen, you can drop this one; net-next just got closed and for
the module auto-loading which is almost ready, I will send a v2
for iproute2 as some man-page bits needs changes here.

But all that when net-next opens up again.

Thanks,
Daniel
