Hi Randy,

The previous Kconfig patch led to some other build errors as
reported by the 0day bot and my own overnight build testing.

These are all in <linux/skbuff.h> when KCOV is enabled but
SKB_EXTENSIONS is not enabled, so fix those by combining those conditions
in the header file.

Also, add stubs for skb_ext_add() and skb_ext_find() to reduce the
amount of ifdef-ery. (Jakub)

It makes sense, good idea!

Thank you for the new version!

I don't think we should remove this #ifdef: the number of extensions are currently limited to 8, we might not want to always have KCOV there even if we don't want it. I think adding items in this enum only when needed was the intension of Florian (+cc) when creating these SKB extensions.
Also, this will increase a tiny bit some structures, see "struct skb_ext()".

But apart from that, I think we are fine, even if we add new extensions in the future after this kcov one.

So if we think it is better to remove these #ifdef here, we should be OK. But if we prefer not to do that, we should then not add stubs for skb_ext_{add,find}() and keep the ones for skb_[gs]et_kcov_handle().

Cheers,
Matt
