Subject: [PATCH bpf v2] bpf: increase {get,set}sockopt optval size limit

Attaching to these hooks can break iptables because its optval is
usually quite big, or at least bigger than the current PAGE_SIZE limit.

There are two possible ways to fix it:
1. Increase the limit to match iptables max optval.
2. Implement some way to bypass the value if it's too big and trigger
   BPF only with level/optname so BPF can still decide whether
   to allow/deny big sockopts.

I went with #1 which means we are potentially increasing the
amount of data we copy from the userspace from PAGE_SIZE to 512M.

v2:
* proper comments formatting (Jakub Kicinski)

Fixes: 0d01da6afc54 ("bpf: implement getsockopt and setsockopt hooks")
