BPF_PROG_TYPE_SK_REUSEPORT / sk_reuseport ebpf programs do not have
access to the queue_mapping or napi_id of the incoming skb. Having
this information can help ebpf progs determine which listen socket to
select.

This patch exposes both queue_mapping and napi_id so that
sk_reuseport ebpf programs can use this information to direct incoming
connections to the correct listen socket in the SOCKMAP.

For example:

A multi-threaded userland program with several threads accepting client
connections via a reuseport listen socket group might want to direct
incoming connections from specific receive queues (or NAPI IDs) to specific
listen sockets to maximize locality or for use with epoll busy-poll.

This won't work. You will need to append to the end of data structure
to keep it backward compatibility.

Also, recent kernel has a kfunc bpf_cast_to_kern_ctx() which converts
a ctx to a kernel ctx and you can then use tracing-coding-style to
access those fields. In this particular case, you can do

struct sk_reuseport_kern *kctx = bpf_cast_to_kern_ctx(ctx);

We have

struct sk_reuseport_kern {
struct sk_buff *skb;
struct sock *sk;
struct sock *selected_sk;
struct sock *migrating_sk;
void *data_end;
u32 hash;
u32 reuseport_id;
bool bind_inany;
};

through sk and skb pointer, you should be access the fields presented in
this patch. You can access more fields too.

So using bpf_cast_to_kern_ctx(), there is no need for more uapi changes.
Please give a try.
