Subject: [PATCH net-next 2/9] net: tcp: add 'drop_reason' field to struct tcp_skb_cb

From: Menglong Dong <imagedong@...cent.com>

Because of the long call chain on processing skb in TCP protocol, it's
hard to pass the drop reason to the code where the skb is freed.

Therefore, we can store the drop reason to skb->cb, and pass it to
kfree_skb_reason(). I'm lucky, the struct tcp_skb_cb still has 4 bytes
spare space for this purpose.
