[net-next,v4] net: Re-use and set mono_delivery_time bit for userspace tstamp packets
Commit Message
Bridge driver today has no support to forward the userspace timestamp
packets and ends up resetting the timestamp. ETF qdisc checks the
packet coming from userspace and encounters to be 0 thereby dropping
time sensitive packets. These changes will allow userspace timestamps
packets to be forwarded from the bridge to NIC drivers.
Setting the same bit (mono_delivery_time) to avoid dropping of
userspace tstamp packets in the forwarding path.
Existing functionality of mono_delivery_time remains unaltered here,
instead just extended with userspace tstamp support for bridge
forwarding path.

Changes since v3
- Setting mono_delivery_time at all instances where the skb->tstamp is
initialized with sockcm.transmit_time as reviewed by Willem
- Removed repetitive comments from all the sources file and limited only
to skbuff.h as suggested by Willem
- Re-phrased the comment explanation in skbuff.h and made it much simpler
and generic as suggested by Willem
Changes since v2
- Updated the commit subject and message.
- Took care of few comments from Willem to re-use mono_delivery_time
with comments and documentations in the header and source file.
- Took care of comment from Andrew on the typo in the comment.
- Existing self-test test cases are executed to make sure existing
implementation is not impacted as stated by Paolo.(so_txtime.sh).
- Internal validation of UDP packets using iperf/so_priority/so_txtime
with MQPRIO + ETF offload is executed as well.
- Test case is included below

Changes since v1
- Changed the commit subject as i am modifying the mono_delivery_time
bit with clockid_delivery_time.
- Took care of suggestion mentioned by Willem to use the same bit for
userspace delivery time as there are no conflicts between TCP and
SCM_TXTIME, because explicit cmsg makes no sense for TCP and only
RAW and DGRAM sockets interprets it.
- Clear explaination of why this is needed mentioned below and this
is extending the work done by Martin for mono_delivery_time
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/patch/20220302195525.3480280-1-kafai@fb.com/
- Version 1 patch can be referenced with below link which states
the exact problem with tc-etf and discussions which took place
