The current tc-bpf@ingress reads and writes the __sk_buff->tstamp
as a (rcv) timestamp which currently could either be 0 (not available)
or ktime_get_real().  This patch is to backward compatible with the
(rcv) timestamp expectation at ingress.  If the skb->tstamp has
the delivery_time, the bpf insn rewrite will read 0 for tc-bpf
running at ingress as it is not available.  When writing at ingress,
it will also clear the skb->mono_delivery_time bit.

/* BPF_READ: a = __sk_buff->tstamp */
if (!skb->tc_at_ingress || !skb->mono_delivery_time)
	a = skb->tstamp;
else
	a = 0

/* BPF_WRITE: __sk_buff->tstamp = a */
if (skb->tc_at_ingress)
	skb->mono_delivery_time = 0;
skb->tstamp = a;

[ A note on the BPF_CGROUP_INET_INGRESS which can also access
  skb->tstamp.  At that point, the skb is delivered locally
  and skb_clear_delivery_time() has already been done,
  so the skb->tstamp will only have the (rcv) timestamp. ]
