BPF_CGROUP_RUN_PROG_INET_INGRESS() is used in one place.
Are you folks saying that you want to remove !sk check
from __cgroup_bpf_run_filter_skb()?
Seems like micro optimization, but sure why not.

EXPORT_SYMBOL() is there because of "ipv6 as a module" mess.
So it's not a concern.

Pls tag the subj of the patch with [PATCH bpf-next]
instead of "for-next".
