====================
net: reduce sk_filter() (and friends) bloat

Some functions return an error by value, and a drop_reason
by an output parameter. This extra parameter can force stack canaries.

A drop_reason is enough and more efficient.

This series reduces bloat by 678 bytes on x86_64:

Future conversions from sock_queue_rcv_skb() to sock_queue_rcv_skb_reason()
can be done later.
