The commit c504e5c2f964 ("net: skb: introduce kfree_skb_reason()") has
introduced the kfree_skb_reason() to help track the reason.

The tun and tap are commonly used as virtio-net/vhost-net backend. This is to
use kfree_skb_reason() to trace the dropped skb for those two drivers. 

Changed since v1:

I have renamed many of the reasons since v1. I make them as generic as possible
so that they can be re-used by core networking and drivers.

- SKB_DROP_REASON_SKB_CSUM

This is used whenever there is checksum error with sk_buff.

- SKB_DROP_REASON_SKB_COPY_DATA

The kernel may (zero) copy the data to or from sk_buff, e.g.,
zerocopy_sg_from_iter(), skb_copy_datagram_from_iter() and
skb_orphan_frags_rx(). This reason is for the copy related error.

- SKB_DROP_REASON_SKB_GSO_SEG

Any error reported when GSO processing the sk_buff. It is frequent to process
sk_buff gso data and we introduce a new reason to handle that.
	
- SKB_DROP_REASON_SKB_PULL
- SKB_DROP_REASON_SKB_TRIM

It is frequent to pull to sk_buff data or trim the sk_buff data.

- SKB_DROP_REASON_DEV_HDR

Any driver may report error if there is any error in the metadata on the DMA
ring buffer.

- SKB_DROP_REASON_DEV_READY

The device is not ready/online or initialized to receive data.

- SKB_DROP_REASON_DEV_FILTER

David Ahern suggested SKB_DROP_REASON_TAP_FILTER. I changed from 'TAP' to 'DEV'
to make it more generic.

- SKB_DROP_REASON_FULL_RING

Suggested by Eric Dumazet.

- SKB_DROP_REASON_BPF_FILTER

Dropped by ebpf filter


This is the output for TUN device.

Please let me know if there is any suggestion on the definition of reasons.

Thank you very much!
