Potentially opens up the way to redirect without fallback to backlog thread in the future. If we know the target, then we can propagate backpressure. If we go this route, we will need tests. selftests/test_sockmap would need to be extended, and we will also need some unit tests in test_progs for corner cases. Corner cases to cover that come to mind: redirect to self, redirect target socket closed. I'm out next week, so won't be able to give it a proper review.
