hmm. what's a point of double jump table? It's only burning cycles
in the fast path. We already have
prog = rcu_dereference(cgrp->bpf.effective[type]); if (prog) {...}
Could you do a variant of __cgroup_bpf_run_filter() instead ?
That doesnt't take 'skb' as an argument.
It will also solve scary looking NULL skb from patch 2:
__cgroup_bpf_run_filter(sk, NULL, ...

and to avoid copy-pasting first dozen lines of current
__cgroup_bpf_run_filter can be moved into a helper that
__cgroup_bpf_run_filter_skb and
__cgroup_bpf_run_filter_sk will call.
Or some other way to rearrange that code.
