Add test_tcp_custom_syncookie_protocol_check to verify that
bpf_sk_assign_tcp_reqsk() rejects non-TCP skbs. The test sends a UDP
packet through TC ingress where a BPF program calls
bpf_sk_assign_tcp_reqsk() on it and checks that the kfunc returns an
error. A UDP server recv() is used as synchronization to ensure the
BPF program has finished processing before checking the result.
Without the fix in bpf_sk_assign_tcp_reqsk(), the kfunc succeeds and
attaches a TCP reqsk to the UDP skb, which causes a null pointer
dereference panic when the kernel processes it through the UDP receive
path.
Test result:
