[bpf-next,0/3] Support direct writes to nf_conn:mark

Message

Support direct writes to nf_conn:mark from TC and XDP prog types. This
is useful when applications want to store per-connection metadata. This
is also particularly useful for applications that run both bpf and
iptables/nftables because the latter can trivially access this metadata.

One example use case would be if a bpf prog is responsible for advanced
packet classification and iptables/nftables is later used for routing
due to pre-existing/legacy code.

Daniel Xu (3):
  bpf: Remove duplicate PTR_TO_BTF_ID RO check
  bpf: Add support for writing to nf_conn:mark
  selftests/bpf: Add tests for writing to nf_conn:mark
