The whole struct bpf_net_context has 112 bytes. task_struct has 12352
bytes in my debug-config or 7296 bytes with defconfig on x86-64. Adding
it unconditionally would grow task_struct by ~1% but it would make
things way easier: The NULL case goes away, the assignment and cleanup
goes away, the INIT_LIST_HEAD can be moved to fork(). If the size
increase is not an issue then why not. Let me prepare…
