bpf: Adds field bpf_sock_ops_cb_flags to tcp_sock

Adds field bpf_sock_ops_cb_flags to tcp_sock and bpf_sock_ops. Its primary
use is to determine if there should be calls to sock_ops bpf program at
various points in the TCP code. The field is initialized to zero,
disabling the calls. A sock_ops BPF program can set it, per connection and
as necessary, when the connection is established.

It also adds support for reading and writting the field within a
sock_ops BPF program. Reading is done by accessing the field directly.
However, writing is done through the helper function
bpf_sock_ops_cb_flags_set, in order to return an error if a BPF program
is trying to set a callback that is not supported in the current kernel
(i.e. running an older kernel). The helper function returns 0 if it was
able to set all of the bits set in the argument, a positive number
containing the bits that could not be set, or -EINVAL if the socket is
not a full TCP socket.

Examples of where one could call the bpf program:

1) When RTO fires
2) When a packet is retransmitted
3) When the connection terminates
4) When a packet is sent
5) When a packet is received
