bpf, sockops: Enhance the return capability of sockops

hulk inclusion
category: feature
bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I71USM



----------------------------------------------------

Since commit 2585cd62 ("bpf: Only reply field should be writeable"),
sockops is not allowd to modify the replylong field except replylong[0].
The reason is that the replylong[1] to replylong[3] field is not used
at that time.

But in actual use, we can call `BPF_CGROUP_RUN_PROG_SOCK_OPS` in the
kernel modules and expect sockops to return some useful data.

The design comment about bpf_sock_ops::replylong in
include/uapi/linux/bpf.h is described as follows:

```
  struct bpf_sock_ops {
        __u32 op;
        union {
                __u32 args[4];          /* Optionally passed to bpf program */
                __u32 reply;            /* Returned by bpf program          */
                __u32 replylong[4];     /* Optioznally returned by bpf prog  */
        };
  ...
```

It seems to contradict the purpose for which the field was originally
designed. Let's remove this restriction.
