This adds metadata to sk_msg_md for BPF programs to read the sk_msg size. When the SK_MSG program is running under an application that is using sendfile the data is not copied into sk_msg buffers by default. Rather the BPF program uses sk_msg_pull_data to read the bytes in. This avoids doing the costly memcopy instructions when they are not in fact needed. However, if we don't know the size of the sk_msg we have to guess if needed bytes are available by doing a pull request which may fail. By including the size of the sk_msg BPF programs can check the size before issuing sk_msg_pull_data requests. Additionally, the same applies for sendmsg calls when the application provides multiple iovs. Here the BPF program needs to pull in data to update data pointers but its not clear where the data ends without a size parameter. In many cases "guessing" is not easy to do and results in multiple calls to pull and without bounded loops everything gets fairly tricky. Clean this up by including a u32 size field. Note, all writes into sk_msg_md are rejected already from sk_msg_is_valid_access so nothing additional is needed there.
