Subject: [PATCH bpf v4 1/2] bpf: don't return EINVAL from {get,set}sockopt when optlen > PAGE_SIZE

Attaching to these hooks can break iptables because its optval is
usually quite big, or at least bigger than the current PAGE_SIZE limit.
David also mentioned some SCTP options can be big (around 256k).

There are two possible ways to fix it:
1. Increase the limit to match iptables max optval. There is, however,
   no clear upper limit. Technically, iptables can accept up to
   512M of data (not sure how practical it is though).

2. Bypass the value (don't expose to BPF) if it's too big and trigger
   BPF only with level/optname so BPF can still decide whether
   to allow/deny big sockopts.

The initial attempt was implemented using strategy #1. Due to
listed shortcomings, let's switch to strategy #2. When there is
legitimate a real use-case for iptables/SCTP, we can consider increasing
 the PAGE_SIZE limit.

To support the cases where len(optval) > PAGE_SIZE we can
leverage upcoming sleepable BPF work by providing a helper
which can do copy_from_user (sleepable) at the given offset
from the original large buffer.

v4:
* use temporary buffer to avoid optval == optval_end == NULL;
  this removes the corner case in the verifier that might assume
  non-zero PTR_TO_PACKET/PTR_TO_PACKET_END.

v3:
* don't increase the limit, bypass the argument

v2:
* proper comments formatting (Jakub Kicinski)
