> Introduce helpers to let eBPF programs attached to TC manipulate tunnel metadata:
> bpf_skb_[gs]et_tunnel_key(skb, key, size, flags)
> skb: pointer to skb
> key: pointer to 'struct bpf_tunnel_key'
> size: size of 'struct bpf_tunnel_key'
> flags: room for future extensions
> 
> First eBPF program that uses these helpers will allocate per_cpu
> metadata_dst structures that will be used on TX.
> On RX metadata_dst is allocated by tunnel driver.
> 
> Typical usage for TX:
> struct bpf_tunnel_key tkey;
> ... populate tkey ...
> bpf_skb_set_tunnel_key(skb, &tkey, sizeof(tkey), 0);
> bpf_clone_redirect(skb, vxlan_dev_ifindex, 0);
> 
> RX:
> struct bpf_tunnel_key tkey = {};
> bpf_skb_get_tunnel_key(skb, &tkey, sizeof(tkey), 0);
> ... lookup or redirect based on tkey ...
> 
> 'struct bpf_tunnel_key' will be extended in the future by adding
> elements to the end and the 'size' argument will indicate which fields
> are populated, thereby keeping backwards compatibility.
> The 'flags' argument may be used as well when the 'size' is not enough or
