Add a bpf_csum_level() helper which BPF programs can use in combination
with bpf_skb_adjust_room() when they pass in BPF_F_ADJ_ROOM_NO_CSUM_RESET
flag to the latter to avoid falling back to CHECKSUM_NONE.

The bpf_csum_level() allows to adjust CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY skb->csum_levels
via BPF_CSUM_LEVEL_{INC,DEC} which calls
__skb_{incr,decr}_checksum_unnecessary()
on the skb. The helper also allows a BPF_CSUM_LEVEL_RESET which sets the
skb's
csum to CHECKSUM_NONE as well as a BPF_CSUM_LEVEL_QUERY to just return the
current level. Without this helper, there is no way to otherwise adjust the
skb->csum_level. I did not add an extra dummy flags as there is plenty of
free
bitspace in level argument itself iff ever needed in future.

u64 flags? We can also stuff things into level I guess.

Yeah, I did mention it in the commit log. There is plenty of bit space to
extend
with flags in there iff ever needed. Originally, helper was called
bpf_csum_adjust()
but then renamed into bpf_csum_level() to be more 'topic specific' (aka do one
thing
and do it well...) and avoid future api overloading, so if necessary level can
be
used since I don't think the enum will be extended much further from what we
have
here anyway.

Looks great! The only thing that gave me pause was
the -EACCES return value for the case where we query
and the skb is not subject to CHECKSUM_UNNECESSESARY ;
-ENOENT ("no such level") feels slightly closer to the
situation to me but either is a reasonable choice I think.

My thinking was in the line of 'error since we cannot access skb->csum_level
for the given skb->ip_summed'. I don't feel strong about which code it is either
way though; important thing is that it is documented & distinguishable from
other errors, so that the program has a way to make sense of the data returned
by BPF_CSUM_LEVEL_QUERY.
