Re: [PATCH bpf-next 1/4] inet_diag: Refactor inet_sk_diag_fill(), dump(), and dump_one()

In a latter patch, there is a need to update "cb->min_dump_alloc"
in inet_sk_diag_fill() as it learns the diffierent bpf_sk_storages
stored in a sk while dumping all sk(s) (e.g. tcp_hashinfo).

The inet_sk_diag_fill() currently does not take the "cb" as an argument.
One of the reason is inet_sk_diag_fill() is used by both dump_one()
and dump() (which belong to the "struct inet_diag_handler".  The dump_one()
interface does not pass the "cb" along.

This patch is to make dump_one() pass a "cb".  The "cb" is created in
inet_diag_cmd_exact().  The "nlh" and "in_skb" are stored in "cb" as
the dump() interface does.  The total number of args in
inet_sk_diag_fill() is also cut from 10 to 7 and
that helps many callers to pass fewer args.

In particular,
"struct user_namespace *user_ns", "u32 pid", and "u32 seq"
can be replaced by accessing "cb->nlh" and "cb->skb".

A similar argument reduction is also made to
inet_twsk_diag_fill() and inet_req_diag_fill().

inet_csk_diag_dump() and inet_csk_diag_fill() are also removed.
They are mostly equivalent to inet_sk_diag_fill().  Their repeated
usages are very limited.  Thus, inet_sk_diag_fill() is directly used
in those occasions.
