bpf: Add __sk_buff->delivery_time_type and bpf_skb_set_skb_delivery_time()

* __sk_buff->delivery_time_type:
This patch adds __sk_buff->delivery_time_type.  It tells if the
delivery_time is stored in __sk_buff->tstamp or not.

It will be most useful for ingress to tell if the __sk_buff->tstamp
has the (rcv) timestamp or delivery_time.  If delivery_time_type
is 0 (BPF_SKB_DELIVERY_TIME_NONE), it has the (rcv) timestamp.

Two non-zero types are defined for the delivery_time_type,
BPF_SKB_DELIVERY_TIME_MONO and BPF_SKB_DELIVERY_TIME_UNSPEC.  For UNSPEC,
it can only happen in egress because only mono delivery_time can be
forwarded to ingress now.  The clock of UNSPEC delivery_time
can be deduced from the skb->sk->sk_clockid which is how
the sch_etf doing it also.

* Provide forwarded delivery_time to tc-bpf@ingress:
With the help of the new delivery_time_type, the tc-bpf has a way
to tell if the __sk_buff->tstamp has the (rcv) timestamp or
the delivery_time.  During bpf load time, the verifier will learn if
the bpf prog has accessed the new __sk_buff->delivery_time_type.
If it does, it means the tc-bpf@ingress is expecting the
skb->tstamp could have the delivery_time.  The kernel will then
read the skb->tstamp as-is during bpf insn rewrite without
checking the skb->mono_delivery_time.  This is done by adding a
new prog->delivery_time_access bit.  The same goes for
writing skb->tstamp.

* bpf_skb_set_delivery_time():
The bpf_skb_set_delivery_time() helper is added to allow setting both
delivery_time and the delivery_time_type at the same time.  If the
tc-bpf does not need to change the delivery_time_type, it can directly
write to the __sk_buff->tstamp as the existing tc-bpf has already been
doing.  It will be most useful at ingress to change the
__sk_buff->tstamp from the (rcv) timestamp to
a mono delivery_time and then bpf_redirect_*().

bpf only has mono clock helper (bpf_ktime_get_ns), and
the current known use case is the mono EDT for fq, and
only mono delivery time can be kept during forward now,
so bpf_skb_set_delivery_time() only supports setting
BPF_SKB_DELIVERY_TIME_MONO.  It can be extended later when use cases
come up and the forwarding path also supports other clock bases.
