bpf: sockmap, strparser, and tls are reusing qdisc_skb_cb and colliding

Strparser is reusing the qdisc_skb_cb struct to stash the skb message handling
progress, e.g. offset and length of the skb. First this is poorly named and
inherits a struct from qdisc that doesn't reflect the actual usage of cb[] at
this layer.

But, more importantly strparser is using the following to access its metadata.

  (struct _strp_msg *)((void *)skb->cb + offsetof(struct qdisc_skb_cb, data))

Where _strp_msg is defined as:

  struct _strp_msg {
        struct strp_msg            strp;                 /*     0     8 */
        int                        accum_len;            /*     8     4 */

        /* size: 12, cachelines: 1, members: 2 */
        /* last cacheline: 12 bytes */
  };

So we use 12 bytes of ->data[] in struct. However in BPF code running parser
and verdict the user has read capabilities into the data[] array as well. Its
not too problematic, but we should not be exposing internal state to BPF
program. If its ...
