It will require changes in all the callers and I am not sure it's wise
to change a common function for a single user. Why not just patch tun to
call __skb_set_sw_hash(skb, hash, true)? IIUC, even in tun you only need
it in two out of the four callers of __skb_get_hash_symmetric():
tun_get_user() and tun_xdp_one() which both build an skb before
injecting it into the Rx path.
