net: skb: allow up to 8 skb extension ids

The skb extension ids range from 0 .. 7 to fit their bits as flags into
a single byte. The ids are automatically enumnerated in enum skb_ext_id
in skbuff.h, where SKB_EXT_NUM is defined as the last value.

When having 8 skb extension ids (0 .. 7), SKB_EXT_NUM becomes 8 which is
a valid value for SKB_EXT_NUM.
