Most of the code in bpf_setsockopt(SOL_SOCKET) are duplicated from
the sk_setsockopt().  The number of supported optnames are
increasing ever and so as the duplicated code.

One issue in reusing sk_setsockopt() is that the bpf prog
has already acquired the sk lock.  This patch adds a in_bpf()
to tell if the sk_setsockopt() is called from a bpf prog.
The bpf prog calling bpf_setsockopt() is either running in_task()
or in_serving_softirq().  Both cases have the current->bpf_ctx
initialized.  Thus, the in_bpf() only needs to test !!current->bpf_ctx.

This patch also adds sockopt_{lock,release}_sock() helpers
for sk_setsockopt() to use.  These helpers will test in_bpf()
before acquiring/releasing the lock.  They are in EXPORT_SYMBOL
for the ipv6 module to use in a latter patch.

Note on the change in sock_setbindtodevice().  sockopt_lock_sock()
is done in sock_setbindtodevice() instead of doing the lock_sock
in sock_bindtoindex(..., lock_sk = true).

Good point on not needing to care about softirq!
That actually turned even nicer :-)

QQ: do we need to add a comment here about potential false-negatives?
I see you're adding ctx to the iter, but there is still a bunch of places
that don't use it.
