virtio-net have two usage of hashes: one is RSS and another is hash
reporting. Conventionally the hash calculation was done by the VMM.
However, computing the hash after the queue was chosen defeats the
purpose of RSS.
Another approach is to use eBPF steering program. This approach has
another downside: it cannot report the calculated hash due to the
restrictive nature of eBPF.
Introduce the code to compute hashes to the kernel in order to overcome
thse challenges. An alternative solution is to extend the eBPF steering
program so that it will be able to report to the userspace, but it makes
little sense to allow to implement different hashing algorithms with
eBPF since the hash value reported by virtio-net is strictly defined by
the specification.
The hash value already stored in sk_buff is not used and computed
independently since it may have been computed in a way not conformant
with the specification.

Isn't vnet_hdr_sz guaranteed to be >= hdr.v1_hash_hdr, by virtue of
the set hash ioctl failing otherwise?
Such checks should be limited to control path where possible
There is a potential race since tun->vnet_hash.flags and vnet_hdr_sz are
not read at once.
