bpf, sockmap: Add skb_adjust_room to pop bytes off ingress payload
This implements a new helper skb_adjust_room() so users can push/pop extra bytes from a BPF_SK_SKB_STREAM_VERDICT program. Some protocols may include headers and other information that we may not want to include when doing a redirect from a BPF_SK_SKB_STREAM_VERDICT program. One use case is to redirect TLS packets into a receive socket that doesn't expect TLS data. In TLS case the first 13B or so contain the protocol header. With KTLS the payload is decrypted so we should be able to redirect this to a receiving socket, but the receiving socket may not be expecting to receive a TLS header and discard the data. Using the above helper we can pop the header off and put an appropriate header on the payload. This allows for creating a proxy between protocols without extra hops through the stack or userspace. So in order to fix this case add skb_adjust_room() so users can strip the header. After this the user can strip the header and an unmodified receiver thread will work correctly when data is redirected into the ingress path of a sock.
