net: filter: keep original BPF program around
In order to open up the possibility to internally transform a BPF program into an alternative and possibly non-trivial reversible representation, we need to keep the original BPF program around, so that it can be passed back to user space w/o the need of a complex decoder. The reason for that use case resides in commit a8fc9277 ("sk-filter: Add ability to get socket filter program (v2)"), that is, the ability to retrieve the currently attached BPF filter from a given socket used mainly by the checkpoint-restore project, for example. Therefore, we add two helpers sk_{store,release}_orig_filter for taking care of that. In the sk_unattached_filter_create() case, there's no such possibility/requirement to retrieve a loaded BPF program. Therefore, we can spare us the work in that case. This approach will simplify and slightly speed up both, sk_get_filter() and sock_diag_put_filterinfo() handlers as we won't need to successively decode filters anymore through sk_decode_filter(). As we still need sk_decode_filter() later on, we're keeping it around. Joint work with Alexei Starovoitov.
