bpf: Add bpf_get_listener_sock(struct bpf_sock *sk) helper


Add a new helper "struct bpf_sock *bpf_get_listener_sock(struct bpf_sock *sk)"
which returns a bpf_sock in TCP_LISTEN state.  It will trace back to
the listener sk from a request_sock if possible.  It returns NULL
for all other cases.

No reference is taken because the helper ensures the sk is
in SOCK_RCU_FREE (where the TCP_LISTEN sock should be in).
Hence, bpf_sk_release() is unnecessary and the verifier does not
allow bpf_sk_release(listen_sk) to be called either.

The following is also allowed because the bpf_prog is run under
rcu_read_lock():

	sk = bpf_sk_lookup_tcp();
	/* if (!sk) { ... } */
	listen_sk = bpf_get_listener_sock(sk);
	/* if (!listen_sk) { ... } */
	bpf_sk_release(sk);
	src_port = listen_sk->src_port; /* Allowed */
