tun: Report "persist" flag to userspace
The TUN_PERSIST flag is not reported at all -- both TUNGETIFF, and sysfs "flags" attribute skip one. Knowing whether a device is persistent or not is critical for checkpoint-restore, thus I propose to add the read-only IFF_PERSIST one for this. Setting this new IFF_PERSIST is hardly possible, as TUNSETIFF doesn't check for unknown flags being zero and thus there can be trash.
