Currently, bpf_getsockopt and bpf_setsockopt helpers operate on the
'struct bpf_sock_ops' context in BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCK_OPS program.
Let's generalize them and make them available for 'struct bpf_sock_addr'.
That way, in the future, we can allow those helpers in more places.
As an example, let's expose those 'struct bpf_sock_addr' based helpers to
BPF_CGROUP_INET{4,6}_CONNECT hooks. That way we can override CC before the
connection is made.
v3:
* Expose custom helpers for bpf_sock_addr context instead of doing
generic bpf_sock argument (as suggested by Daniel). Even with
try_socket_lock that doesn't sleep we have a problem where context sk
is already locked and socket lock is non-nestable.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
