This isn't a bug, but the opening /* should be on its own line following BPF
subsystem convention for multi-line comments.

All of this new GSO flag clearing logic is added inside the if (skb_is_gso(skb))
block in bpf_skb_net_shrink(). Does this mean non-GSO packets bypass the
decapsulation state clearing?

BPF programs can call bpf_skb_adjust_room() to decapsulate non-GSO packets
as well. If a non-GSO packet undergoes decapsulation with the tunnel headers
stripped, but skb->encapsulation remains set, could this cause downstream
network stack components to misinterpret the packet as still being
encapsulated?
