flow_dissector: allow access only to a subset of __sk_buff fields
Use whitelist instead of a blacklist and allow only a small set of fields that might be relevant in the context of flow dissector: * data * data_end * flow_keys This is required for the eth_get_headlen case where we have only a chunk of data to dissect (i.e. trying to read the other skb fields doesn't make sense). Note, that it is a breaking API change! However, we've provided flow_keys->n_proto as a substitute for skb->protocol; and there is no need to manually handle skb->vlan_present. So even if we break somebody, the migration is trivial. Unfortunately, we can't support eth_get_headlen use-case without those breaking changes.
