bpf: add generic bpf_csum_diff helper For L4 checksums, we currently have bpf_l4_csum_replace() helper. It's currently limited to handle 2 and 4 byte changes in a header and feeds the from/to into inet_proto_csum_replace{2,4}() helpers of the kernel. When working with IPv6, for example, this makes it rather cumbersome to deal with, similarly when editing larger parts of a header. Instead, extend the API in a more generic way: For bpf_l4_csum_replace(), add a case for header field mask of 0 to change the checksum at a given offset through inet_proto_csum_replace_by_diff(), and provide a helper bpf_csum_diff() that can generically calculate a from/to diff for arbitrary amounts of data. This can be used in multiple ways: for the bpf_l4_csum_replace() only part, this even provides us with the option to insert precalculated diffs from user space f.e. from a map, or from bpf_csum_diff() during runtime. bpf_csum_diff() has a optional from/to stack buffer input, so we can calculate a diff by using a scratchbuffer for scenarios where we're inserting (from is NULL), removing (to is NULL) or diffing (from/to buffers don't need to be of equal size) data. Also, bpf_csum_diff() allows to feed a previous csum into csum_partial(), so the function can also be cascaded.
