netkit: Add option for scrubbing skb meta data

Browse Source 
commit 83134ef460 upstream.

Jordan reported that when running Cilium with netkit in per-endpoint-routes
mode, network policy misclassifies traffic. In this direct routing mode
of Cilium which is used in case of GKE/EKS/AKS, the Pod's BPF program to
enforce policy sits on the netkit primary device's egress side.

The issue here is that in case of netkit's netkit_prep_forward(), it will
clear meta data such as skb->mark and skb->priority before executing the
BPF program. Thus, identity data stored in there from earlier BPF programs
(e.g. from tcx ingress on the physical device) gets cleared instead of
being made available for the primary's program to process. While for traffic
egressing the Pod via the peer device this might be desired, this is
different for the primary one where compared to tcx egress on the host
veth this information would be available.

To address this, add a new parameter for the device orchestration to
allow control of skb->mark and skb->priority scrubbing, to make the two
accessible from BPF (and eventually leave it up to the program to scrub).
By default, the current behavior is retained. For netkit peer this also
enables the use case where applications could cooperate/signal intent to
the BPF program.

Note that struct netkit has a 4 byte hole between policy and bundle which
is used here, in other words, struct netkit's first cacheline content used
in fast-path does not get moved around.
