Always call BPF filters if CGROUP BPF is enabled for EGRESS without
checking skb->sk against sk.
The filters were called only if skb is owned by the sock that the
skb is sent out through. In another words, skb->sk should point to
the sock that it is sending through its egress. However, the filters would
miss SYNACK skbs that they are owned by a request_sock but sent through
the listening sock, that is the socket listening incoming connections.
This is an unnecessary restrict.
The original patch which introduced 'sk == skb->sk' is
3007098494be cgroup: add support for eBPF programs
There are no mentioning in commit message why 'sk == skb->sk'
is needed. So it is possible that this is just restricted
for use cases at that moment. Now there are use cases
where 'sk != skb->sk' so removing this check can enable
the new use case. Maybe you can add this into your commit
message so people can understand the history of 'sk == skb->sk'.
