'sk->copied_seq' was updated in the tcp_eat_skb() function when the action
of a BPF program was SK_REDIRECT. For other actions, like SK_PASS, the
update logic for 'sk->copied_seq' was moved to tcp_bpf_recvmsg_parser()
to ensure the accuracy of the 'fionread' feature.

It works for a single stream_verdict scenario, as it also modified
sk_data_ready->sk_psock_verdict_data_ready->tcp_read_skb
to remove updating 'sk->copied_seq'.

However, for programs where both stream_parser and stream_verdict are
active (strparser purpose), tcp_read_sock() was used instead of
tcp_read_skb() (sk_data_ready->strp_data_ready->tcp_read_sock).
tcp_read_sock() now still updates 'sk->copied_seq', leading to duplicate
updates.

In summary, for strparser + SK_PASS, copied_seq is redundantly calculated
in both tcp_read_sock() and tcp_bpf_recvmsg_parser().

The issue causes incorrect copied_seq calculations, which prevent
correct data reads from the recv() interface in user-land.

We do not want to add new proto_ops to implement a new version of
tcp_read_sock, as this would introduce code complexity [1].

We could have added noack and copied_seq to desc, and then called
ops->read_sock. However, unfortunately, other modules didn’t fully
initialize desc to zero. So, for now, we are directly calling
tcp_read_sock_noack() in tcp_bpf.c.

I'm happy with how this turned out, but let's run it by Eric.
