Subject: Request for "net: bpf: Allow TC programs to call
 BPF_FUNC_skb_change_head" in 5.4

Hi,

I would like to request for cherry-picking commit 6f3f65d80dac (linux v5.8) in
the linux-5.4.y branch.

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=6f3f65d80dac

This commit is trivial, the potential regressions are low. The cherry-pick is
straightforward.
The kernel 5.4 is used by a lot of vendors, having this patch will help
supporting standard ebpf programs.

Regards,
Nicolas
