Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 2/2] trace: tcp: Add tracepoint for
 tcp_sendmsg_locked()

Add a tracepoint to monitor TCP send operations, enabling detailed
visibility into TCP message transmission.

Create a new tracepoint within the tcp_sendmsg_locked function,
capturing traditional fields along with size_goal, which indicates the
optimal data size for a single TCP segment. Additionally, a reference to
the struct sock sk is passed, allowing direct access for BPF programs.
The implementation is largely based on David's patch and suggestions.

The implementation is largely based on David's patch[1] and suggestions.
