bpf: Allow CGROUP_SKB eBPF program to access sk_buff



This allows cgroup eBPF program to classify packet based on their
protocol or other detail information. Currently program need
CAP_NET_ADMIN privilege to attach a cgroup eBPF program, and A
process with CAP_NET_ADMIN can already see all packets on the system,
for example, by creating an iptables rules that causes the packet to
be passed to userspace via NFLOG.
