[PATCH 6/6] tuntap: add ioctls to attach or detach a file form tuntap device

[Jason Wang]

This patch introduces two new ioctls which is used to attach and detach a socket
from tuntap devices:

1) TUNATTACHQUEUE which is used to attach a socket to tuntap device.
2) TUNDETACHQUEUE which is used to detach a socket from tuntap device. It allows
                  a socket to be detached from the device temporarily and could
                  be re-attached again by TUNATTACHQUEUE.
