Re: [PATCH net-next] bpf: Add access to snd_cwnd and others in sock_ops

Adds read access to snd_cwnd and srtt_us fields of tcp_sock. Since these
fields are only valid if the socket associated with the sock_ops program
call is a full socket, the field is_fullsock is also added to the
bpf_sock_ops struct. If the socket is not a full socket, reading these
fields returns 0.

Note that in most cases it will not be necessary to check is_fullsock to
know if there is a full socket. The context of the call, as specified by
the 'op' field, can sometimes determine whether there is a full socket.

The struct bpf_sock_ops has the following fields added:

  __u32 is_fullsock;      /* Some TCP fields are only valid if
                           * there is a full socket. If not, the
                           * fields read as zero.
			   */
  __u32 snd_cwnd;
  __u32 srtt_us;          /* Averaged RTT << 3 in usecs */

There is a new macro, SOCK_OPS_GET_TCP32(NAME), to make it easier to add
read access to more 32 bit tcp_sock fields.
