The TAP can be used as vhost-net backend. E.g., the tap_handle_frame() is
the interface to forward the skb from TAP to vhost-net/virtio-net.
However, there are many "goto drop" in the TAP driver. Therefore, the
kfree_skb_reason() is involved at each "goto drop" to help userspace
ftrace/ebpf to track the reason for the loss of packets.
The below reasons are introduced:
- SKB_DROP_REASON_SKB_CSUM
- SKB_DROP_REASON_SKB_GSO_SEG
- SKB_DROP_REASON_SKB_UCOPY_FAULT
- SKB_DROP_REASON_DEV_HDR
- SKB_DROP_REASON_FULL_RING

Changed since v1:
- revise the reason name
Changed since v2:
- declare drop_reason as type "enum skb_drop_reason"
- handle the drop in skb_list_walk_safe() case
Changed since v4:
- add 'computation' to SKB_CSUM comment
- change COPY_DATA to UCOPY_FAULT
- add 'metadata' to DEV_HDR comment
Changed since v5:
- rebase to net-next
