You are correct that we don't want to run the code on listeners. However
the check for that is in the function this macro calls,
__cgroup_bpf_run_filter_skb (the check is on line 1367 of
kernel/bpf/cgroup.c, for 6.8.0-rc3). The check doesn't need to be done
twice, so it can be removed in this macro.
