A TCP socket can receive 'valid TCP packets' from many different sources,
especially with BPF hooks...

Think of a bonding setup, packets being mirrored by some switches or
even from tc.

Better double check than be sorry.

We have not added a 5th component in the 4-tuple lookups, being "is
this socket a devmem one".

A mix of regular/devmem skb is supported.
