No, that doesn't make a lot of sense. I hadn't realised that
sk_lookup_tcp only returns full sockets.
This means we need a way to detect that there is a request sock for a
given tuple.

* adding a reqsk_exists(tuple) helper means we have to pay the lookup cost twice
* drop the sk argument and do the necessary lookups in the helper
itself, but that also
  wastes a call to __inet_lookup_listener
* skip sk_to_full_sk() in a helper and return RET_PTR_TO_SOCK_COMMON,
  but that violates a bunch of assumptions (e.g. calling bpf_sk_release on them)

For context: ultimately we want use this to answer the question: does
this (encapsulated)
packet contain a payload destined to a local socket? Amongst the edge
cases we need to
handle are ICMP Packet Too Big messages and SYN cookies. A solution
would be to hide
all this in an "uber" helper that takes pointers to the L3 / L4
headers and returns a verdict,
but that seems a bit gross.

Yes, not sure how that slipped out.

Yes, I missed the fact that the callers in tcp_ipv{4,6}.c check this.
