skb_parser also appears in:

tools/testing/selftests/bpf/test_sockmap.c:int txmsg_omit_skb_parser;
tools/testing/selftests/bpf/test_sockmap.c:     {"txmsg_omit_skb_parser", no_argument,      &txmsg_omit_skb_parser, 1},
tools/testing/selftests/bpf/test_sockmap.c:     txmsg_omit_skb_parser = 0;
tools/testing/selftests/bpf/test_sockmap.c:     if (!txmsg_omit_skb_parser) {
tools/testing/selftests/bpf/test_sockmap.c:             if (!txmsg_omit_skb_parser) {
tools/testing/selftests/bpf/test_sockmap.c:     /* Tests that omit skb_parser */
tools/testing/selftests/bpf/test_sockmap.c:     txmsg_omit_skb_parser = 1;
tools/testing/selftests/bpf/test_sockmap.c:     txmsg_omit_skb_parser = 0;

But I understand that changing the option name could break scripts or CI
setups. And even if that's not the case it can be cleanup up later.
