[RFC net] net: skbuff: fix stack variable out of bounds access

gcc-11 warns that the TS_SKB_CB(&state)) cast in skb_find_text()
leads to an out-of-bounds access in skb_prepare_seq_read() after
the addition of a new struct member made skb_seq_state longer
than ts_state:

net/core/skbuff.c: In function ‘skb_find_text’:
net/core/skbuff.c:3498:26: error: array subscript ‘struct skb_seq_state[0]’ is partly outside array bounds of ‘struct ts_state[1]’ [-Werror=array-bounds]
3498 | st->lower_offset = from;
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~
net/core/skbuff.c:3659:25: note: while referencing ‘state’
3659 | struct ts_state state;
| ^~~~~

The warning is currently disabled globally, but I found this
instance during experimental build testing, and it seems
legitimate.

Make the textsearch buffer longer and add a compile-time check to
ensure the two remain the same length.
