    A file descriptor opened for /dev/net/tun and a tun device are
    connected with ioctl.  Though understanding the connection is
    important for trouble shooting, no way is given to a user to know
    the connected device for a given file descriptor at userland.
    
    This patch adds a new fdinfo field for the device name connected to
    a file descriptor opened for /dev/net/tun.
    
    Here is an example of the field:
    
        # lsof | grep tun
        qemu-syst 4565         qemu   25u      CHR             10,200       0t138      12921 /dev/net/tun
        ...
    
        # cat /proc/4565/fdinfo/25
        pos:	138
        flags:	0104002
        iff:	vnet0
    
        # ip link show dev vnet0
        8: vnet0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 ...
    
    changelog:
    
        v2: indent iff just like the other fdinfo fields are.
        v3: remove unused variable.
            Both are suggested by David Miller <davem@davemloft.net>.
