bpf: fix cb access in socket filter programs on tail calls



Commit ff936a04 ("bpf: fix cb access in socket filter programs")
added a fix for socket filter programs such that in i) AF_PACKET the
20 bytes of skb->cb[] area gets zeroed before use in order to not leak
data, and ii) socket filter programs attached to TCP/UDP sockets need
to save/restore these 20 bytes since they are also used by protocol
layers at that time.

The problem is that bpf_prog_run_save_cb() and bpf_prog_run_clear_cb()
only look at the actual attached program to determine whether to zero
or save/restore the skb->cb[] parts. There can be cases where the
actual attached program does not access the skb->cb[], but the program
tail calls into another program which does access this area. In such
a case, the zero or save/restore is currently not performed.

Since the programs we tail call into are unknown at verification time
and can dynamically change, we need to assume that whenever the attached
program performs a tail call, that later programs could access the
skb->cb[], and therefore we need to always set cb_access to 1.
