I'm not referring to the overhead introduced by the time-consuming
operation of bpf prog. I have tested that bpf prog does nothing and
returns directly, and the loss is still 20%. During the pressure test
process, "tcp_send_mss" and "__tcp_transmit_skb" the call frequency per
second

"tcp_send_mss" before TSO, without packet aggregation, and
"__tcp_transmit_skb" after TSO, the gap between the two is
100 times.

Thanks for the reminder, I'll add a judgment.

bpf_reserve_hdr_opt () flag can't finish this. I want to optimize
that bpf prog will not be triggered frequently before TSO. Provide
a way for users to not trigger bpf prog when opt len is unchanged.
Then when writing opt, if len changes, clear the flag, and then
change opt len in the next package.

In the next version, I will add test cases.
