[PATCH RFC 3/9] sk_buff: move the active_extensions into the state bitfield

[Paolo Abeni <pabeni@xxxxxxxxxx>]

No functional change intended

Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@xxxxxxxxxx>

v1 -> v2:
 - add CHECK_SKB_FIELD(_state) in __copy_skb_header
2 problems:
- this restrict the storage for new skb extensions to 0 or at most 1
- can't provide a build time check to ensure SKB_EXT do not exceed
  active_extensions

I'm wondering about moving 2 random bits from the header section to
the old active_extensions location (and explicitly copy them on clone)
so that we can keep using 1 byte for extension and 1 byte for other
state things
