Subject: gpl-only change on bpf_setsockopt

Hi Lawrence:

I noticed that commit cd86d1fd21025 ("bpf: Adding helper function
bpf_getsockops") changed the gpl_only on bpf_setsockopt. The commit log
does not specify why. Is there any reason you changed it and made both
bpf_setsockopt and bpf_getsockopt available for non-gpl programs?

David
