bpf: remove mark access for SK_SKB program types
The skb->mark field is a union with reserved_tailroom which is used in the TCP code paths from stream memory allocation. Allowing SK_SKB programs to set this field creates a conflict with future code optimizations, such as "gifting" the skb to the egress path instead of creating a new skb and doing a memcpy. Because we do not have a released version of SK_SKB yet lets just remove it for now. A more appropriate scratch pad to use at the socket layer is dev_scratch, but lets add that in future kernels when needed.
