bpf_dynptr_from_skb() was only made available to bpf_qdisc, so far the only struct_ops type that needs to read an skb. The upcoming bpf_tcp_ops header-option hooks (parse_hdr/write_hdr_opt) also want to access the TCP options of an skb through a dynptr. All struct_ops programs share BPF_PROG_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS, so register bpf_kfunc_set_skb (which holds bpf_dynptr_from_skb) for that program type once, instead of per struct_ops. This makes bpf_dynptr_from_skb() available to bpf_tcp_ops and any future struct_ops. With the kfunc now provided to all of struct_ops, the bpf_qdisc-specific registration becomes redundant and is dropped: bpf_qdisc_kfunc_filter() only constrains kfuncs listed in qdisc_kfunc_ids, so removing bpf_dynptr_from_skb from that set (and from qdisc_common_kfunc_set) lets it fall through the filter unchanged, and bpf_qdisc keeps access via the generic struct_ops registration. Widening the registration is safe: a struct_ops that does not receive an skb in its context has nothing to pass to the helper.
