Merge branch 'net-reduce-sk_filter-and-friends-bloat'

Eric Dumazet says:

====================
net: reduce sk_filter() (and friends) bloat

Some functions return an error by value, and a drop_reason
by an output parameter. This extra parameter can force stack canaries.

A drop_reason is enough and more efficient.

This series reduces bloat by 678 bytes on x86_64:

can be done later.
