The netdev of link-local address cannot be auto decided, and the link-local address should always be reguarded as address on local network.
The problem we met:
When using `icmpv6_autoconfig` with multiple netdev, the `icmpv6_neighbor` may take out wrong netdev with ip address already set, then it may send solicitation with wrong address (`dev->d_ipv6draddr`) on wrong device, and regard the link-local address as conflict (because `dev->d_ipv6draddr` exists on this network).

Allocate the device buffer only if the protocol really need to send data.
not all protocols require the driver to prepare additional iob before
sending, especially UDP, each iob reserves l2/l3 header in advance
after prepare write buffer, net device could reuse this entry to send directly

In case of enabled packet forwarding mode, packets were forwarded in a reverse order
because of LIFO behavior of the connection event list.
The issue exposed only during high network traffic. Thus the event list started to grow
that resulted in changing the order of packets inside of groups of several packets
like the following: 3, 2, 1, 6, 5, 4, 8, 7 etc.
Remarks concerning the connection event list implementation:
* Now the queue (list) is FIFO as it should be.
* The list is singly linked.
* The list has a head pointer (inside of outer net_driver_s structure),
and a tail pointer is added into outer net_driver_s structure.
* The list item is devif_callback_s structure.
It still has two pointers to two different list chains (*nxtconn and *nxtdev).
* As before the first argument (*dev) of the list functions can be NULL,
while the other argument (*list) is effective (not NULL).
* An extra (*tail) argument is added to devif_callback_alloc()
and devif_conn_callback_free() functions.
* devif_callback_alloc() time complexity is O(1) (i.e. O(n) to fill the whole list).
* devif_callback_free() time complexity is O(n) (i.e. O(n^2) to empty the whole list).
* devif_conn_event() time complexity is O(n).
1.Consolidate absolute to relative timeout conversion into one place(_net_timedwait)
2.Drive the wait timeout logic by net_timedwait instead of devif_timer
This patch help us remove devif_timer(period tick) to save the power in the future.

* Simplify EINTR/ECANCEL error handling
1. Add semaphore uninterruptible wait function
2 .Replace semaphore wait loop with a single uninterruptible wait
3. Replace all sem_xxx to nxsem_xxx
* Unify the void cast usage
1. Remove void cast for function because many place ignore the returned value witout cast
2. Replace void cast for variable with UNUSED macro
Normally it is required that the network be in the "down" state when re-configuring the network interface. This is thought not to be a necessary here because.
1. The ICMPv6 logic here runs with the network locked so there can be no outgoing packets with bad source IP addresses from any asynchronous network activity using the device being reconfigured.
2. Incoming packets depend only upon the MAC filtering. Network drivers do not use the IP address; they filter incoming packets using only the MAC address which is not being changed here.
sched/semaphore: Add nxsem_post() which is identical to sem_post() except that it never modifies the errno variable. Changed all references to sem_post in the OS to nxsem_post().
sched/semaphore: Add nxsem_destroy() which is identical to sem_destroy() except that it never modifies the errno variable. Changed all references to sem_destroy() in the OS to nxsem_destroy().
libc/semaphore and sched/semaphore: Add nxsem_getprotocol() and nxsem_setprotocola which are identical to sem_getprotocol() and set_setprotocol() except that they never modifies the errno variable. Changed all references to sem_setprotocol in the OS to nxsem_setprotocol(). sem_getprotocol() was not used in the OS
libc/semaphore: Add nxsem_getvalue() which is identical to sem_getvalue() except that it never modifies the errno variable. Changed all references to sem_getvalue in the OS to nxsem_getvalue().
sched/semaphore: Rename all internal private functions from sem_xyz to nxsem_xyz. The sem_ prefix is (will be) reserved only for the application semaphore interfaces.
libc/semaphore: Add nxsem_init() which is identical to sem_init() except that it never modifies the errno variable. Changed all references to sem_init in the OS to nxsem_init().
sched/semaphore: Rename sem_tickwait() to nxsem_tickwait() so that it is clear this is an internal OS function.
sched/semaphoate: Rename sem_reset() to nxsem_reset() so that it is clear this is an internal OS function.
