    allow programs read/write skb->mark, tc_index fields and
    ((struct qdisc_skb_cb *)cb)->data.
    
    mark and tc_index are generically useful in TC.
    cb[0]-cb[4] are primarily used to pass arguments from one
    program to another called via bpf_tail_call() which can
    be seen in sockex3_kern.c example.
    
    All fields of 'struct __sk_buff' are readable to socket and tc_cls_act progs.
    mark, tc_index are writeable from tc_cls_act only.
    cb[0]-cb[4] are writeable by both sockets and tc_cls_act.
    
    Add verifier tests and improve sample code.
