bpf, sockmap: Allow skipping sk_skb parser program
Currently, we often run with a nop parser namely one that just does this, 'return skb->len'. This happens when either our verdict program can handle streaming data or it is only looking at socket data such as IP addresses and other metadata associated with the flow. The second case is common for a L3/L4 proxy for instance. So lets allow loading programs without the parser then we can skip the stream parser logic and avoid having to add a BPF program that is effectively a nop.
