Thinking further ahead of your simple example. Instead of adding yet
another prog type for the same hook, we can make this compatible with
BPF_CGROUP_INET_EGRESS instead which would then provide a ctx which
contains both, the sk and skb.

The ctx concept is very flexible. We can keep the existing dummy skb
representation and add sk_ fields which are only valid for BPF at
socket layer, e.g skb->sk_bound_dev_if would translate to
sk->bound_dev_if.
