Subject: introduce function wrapper for sk_data_ready() call?

Hi,

I saw that in 6.3-rc1 the following patch introduced something in dlm
socket application handling 40e0b0908142 ("net/sock: Introduce
trace_sk_data_ready()"). I am asking myself if we could instead
introduce a wrapper in net/ protocol family implementations and they
do such trace event calls there inside the socket implementation
instead of letting the application layer do it. It looks pretty
generic for me and it does not trace any application specific
information.

I did something similar for sk_error_report(), see e3ae2365efc1 ("net:
sock: introduce sk_error_report").

Thanks.
