net: Introduce net.core.bypass_prot_mem sysctl.

If a socket has sk->sk_bypass_prot_mem flagged, the socket opts out
of the global protocol memory accounting.

Let's control the flag by a new sysctl knob.

The flag is written once during socket(2) and is inherited to child
sockets.

Tested with a script that creates local socket pairs and send()s a
bunch of data without recv()ing.

Setup:

  # mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/test
  # echo $$ >> /sys/fs/cgroup/test/cgroup.procs
  # sysctl -q net.ipv4.tcp_mem="1000 1000 1000"
  # ulimit -n 524288

Without net.core.bypass_prot_mem, charged to tcp_mem & memcg

  # python3 pressure.py &
  # cat /sys/fs/cgroup/test/memory.stat | grep sock
  sock 22642688 <-------------------------------------- charged to memcg
  # cat /proc/net/sockstat| grep TCP

  # nstat | grep Pressure || echo no pressure

With net.core.bypass_prot_mem=1, charged to memcg only:

  # python3 pressure.py &
  # cat /sys/fs/cgroup/test/memory.stat | grep sock
